Anyone know much about these?
I want to get one but must be pure electric, not hybrid.
I need an SUV type because I can't drive too low down, it winds me up. Trouble is the Range Rover or larger premium types prices are through the roof!
I've looked for a week now and the more I look the more confused I get, is there a mid range type like a Hyundai Santa Fe sort of thing available?
Or........Is it worth waiting for something new to be launched, anything imminent? - and how out of date will a current model be in 4 years time?
Thanks in advance |  |

I’ve just bought a petrol Volvo XC40 and think they’ve just brought out a full electric version. No idea of pricing but doubt it’s silly RR or Jag money.
I was planning on going hybrid or electric but decided to wait for the next generation in the hope the infrastructure and tech improves. |  |

I had spotted the Skoda before but not the VW, I think I prefer the Skoda.
Looks very reasonable actually | |

The skoda looks a great car they have a coupe version coming out that looks a beauty but it will have a bigger price tag. I added the ID4 on in the edit incase the skoda wasn't your thing. The trouble is knowing when to take the plunge, I'd say go now but there are so many cars coming out in the next 12 - 18 months that is is ridiculous. I drove the Ford mustand mach e last week for the 1st time, decent car.
Put the lease through the business and have it as a company car at 1% bik | |

The best car you are going to see for a while will be the hyundai ionic 5 | |

I am
I like the look of the Kia Jake advised, it looks smart and does almost 300 miles
Quick search suggests £239.99 plus VAT per month over three years with an up front of £1,439.94 plus VAT
I spend £200 per month in diesel! | |

What's going to be interesting is how the Govt react to the loss of fuel duty. |  |

wow, that does seem like an obvious move if you're spending that. I'm kind of shocked you can get one for that actually. |  |

I do know 3 people who drive daily (Well almost daily) around the country because of their job and have all in their time had electric cars and all say the same tesla or nothing. That's purely because the Tesla charging network is far superior to all the other networks. They said they got fed-up with their software telling them a charger was free at xyz and it wasn't, or it told them there was a fast charger and there was an issue and the fast charging wasn't available, whereas the Tesla software was spot-on every time
Which magazine have done a great document on Electric cars, one of the big problems seems to be different connectors are required for different public charges. A lot of people get caught out with plugging into a public fast changer when their car doesn't accept a fast charge but the cost from the charge is still at the fast charge rate |  | | |

The view is that we will see road usage pricing but it is a fair way off. | |

With the 1% BIK tax electric cars are as affordable as ICE when you take into account fuel and duty.
I used to pay £308 plus £120 fuel a month for a fiat people carrier but now pay £380 plus £12 a month for a Tesla Model 3. It's when people have to shell out £50k plus it becomes out of the reach of most. I could have got the Hyundai Kona for even less, but decided to have another midlife crisis and get the Tesla :) |  | | |

E Niro is great but I'd suggest having a look. I'm not sure it really meets your higher up suv that you were after. It is marketed as a suv but not really in the traditional sense | |

Being nosey like...
Why not hybrid, more options better range cheaper easier to acquire.
Is there a FEV Mitsubishi Outlander?
Kia Niro not really jacked up enough to be SUV imo.
Audi Etron has been around a while, Mercedes EQC out not.. Or get and old RR and get the fellas from VV to convert. |  |

It's obviously just a lease Ulla but even when I was a wealthy man I never spent money on flash cars. To me, cars are just a waste of money.
I have no burning desire to shell out mega money and buy one. I think leasing is the way to go. You can get little hybrids for £100 a month now, it's crazy. | |

From experience real world range nowhere near advertised.
Audi Etron was at least 20% less
Polestar 15%
But it will get better
Flip side, was in a meeting with a London Taxi fleet operator who claims he can more out of the LEVC than is advertised | |

Are Volvo still public listing? Owned by a Chinese company aren't they? | |
