Have a look at http://on.to - 1 month rolling leases which include insurance, power (shell, bp, instavolt) and so on. £550 a month gets you a Kona Electric or an id.3 for example.
It’s a really good way to try out EVs without a long term commitment, and you can swap models (at a cost) to try different things.
They have id.4s and q4s too, but the bigger suvs seem expensive at 800-1000 a month if you really need the size.
I’d say leasing is the way to go for a longer term commitment. Everything just seems a little undercooked at the moment - I reckon there’s still a lot of change in the market over the next couple of years.

Our VW Touran is finally on the way out (conflicted hurrah for awful car, boo for new car expense.) And have been eyeing up the Kia EV6 and Hyundai ioniq 5.
We regularly visit the in-laws in the north east so a Zoe isn't an option. Are mid priced long range EVs really ready for the big time? I want to believe but my wife just wants me to spend £15k on a second hand Mazda.
Also I've never bought a new car so would appreciate thoughts on leasing vs. purchase on finance.
