84mph max speed
Not sure I'd want to take that on the motorway anyway. Electric is definitely feasible for town runaround cars. I'd love to see a future where electric engines can be retrofit easily to old shells. Best case scenario for the environment

Apparently they've opened the order books for this. Not sure on the price?

Yeah - definitely. Luckily both mine and my wife's parents live within 40 mins of us and the quickest way to both is through A or B roads with max 60mph.
We might end up doing 10-15 miles on the a14 from time to time but that won't really be an issue.

Ordered a Renault Zoe (new one) today through the wife's work scheme. First electric car.
With the kid due in July, this should make the multitude of short trips she will make in the year off much more cost effective than the range rover. Longer trips with us both will still be in that...
With 0% BIK tax, it's super cheap; coming in at less than £300 a month for the top of the range one with all the options. Also comes with a free 7Kwh wall charger install.
Unlikely to arrive before May but that's still in time for the impending arrival of mini me.
If it's useful, i'm tempted to switch the range rover to a Model Y towards the end of the year, once they're available in the UK.
