  • It's been 10 years since I last owned a car and am now seriously thinking about an EV. Ideally I'd want something like an estate, but there doesn't seem to be much choice out there (based on initial searches only). Anyone driving something with decent space to chuck a bike or two in the back?

    Also, for those that have made the jump, have you bought outright or leased? Lots of articles saying leasing makes the most sense as the tech is moving forwards so quickly.

  • Maybe the VW id.3 would work for you. But without going to the high end Jaguar or Audi there’s not a huge choice of estate- type cars.

    I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m using on.to at the moment - monthly “lease” or rental which gives you the option to try before you buy or commit long term. The Kona is £550 a month including insurance and power (mostly - shell, bp, instavolt are all free, most others are not), and residents parking in Camden is £20 for the year. It’s given me a very safe intro to EV ownership with the option of cancelling or changing cars each month.

  • 100% lease.

    Battery tech and infrastructure are completely up in the air and you just need to look at someone like Kia or Hyundai to see the generational leap in quality of EV between Kona etc and the Ioniq 5.

    I've got until December 2023 with the Tesla and I'm hoping the market will be mature enough that I'll buy the next one.

  • few of us have jumped on the Kia eNiro lease train and nothing bad to report thusfar. it's a belter of a motor.
