Would you drive a Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV?

They’ll certainly have all the certificates to say they are. CE = China Export.

Yep, MG4 comes with a Kia matching 7 year warranty.

read virtually the same artical [same pics] on another site, the bit that piqued my attention was saying the EV taxis over there go to stations and change batteries, done by machine, in a matter of minutes rather that lose fare time by having to recharge for hours.

i'd love an EV the size of my current Suzuki Swift though that'd be ideal, smaller the car the better within reason for me but i do need back seats to take the daughter and wife places so i'll pass on that one above or the AMI.

I have no interest in the current crop of SUV's they seem pointlessly big for my usage of wife and 1 young daughter, we need to be as small and efficient as possible with EV's in my view.

Mini electric or a Honda-E then?

I love the look of the Honda E buy they don't have enough range for me to be practical unfortunately

I'd need 160+ real world motorway miles in winter, i had a doctors appointment the other day which was 75 miles away, so a 150 mile round trip and i wouldn't want to have to stop to charge on route to something like that.

E-208/Corsa? They have a claimed range of
~220 miles, which should under all but the most extreme of conditions get you your desired 160+ miles of range.

Yeah i was looking at them, i think the winner at the moment for me would be the MG4 as it seems to tick every box really but i can't really stretch to one right now but things are getting a lot closer for it being a real possibility which is good.
