Comfortable EV

[Terminal_Boy]

I am sure the extra weight has something to do with this but even SUV type EV's - which you would expect to have softer suspension - still feel quite firm and I find myself being bounced around over the same roads that my old Volvo and Citroens glided in comparison. I've tested about 10 different EV's and probably the EX30 and the e-C4 were the ones that didn't make me feel that my fillings would fall out, but still light years away from the comfort drives I enjoyed with the older cars.
Unfortunately there is no EV with hydropneumatic suspension, so is the only option an EV with adaptive suspension? Who would have though that the French build their cars with our roads in their mind :0

Nah, the French build their cars with their roads in mind which are normally very well maintained with the communes even sending folks out on a regular basis to slop tar and gravel into potholes on minor roads.

Of course, there was a time when the French thought a 2CV was the pinacle of motoring, so you have to take their opinion with a pinch of garlic and a baguette.

The old hydro pneumatic systems on the Citroens were excellent at soaking up the ripples and small bumps and hard to beat for ride comfort unless you spent Jaguar (before they went a bit funny) money on a car.

But you haven’t driven one, so it’s not even an opinion

But I've done my research.

Not at all. It is much harder to control mass that is higher up, so you need harder suspension to compensate for all that leaning

In that case you lower the height. Suv are not build with cornering in mind

Sorry. It was a reply to jpaul.
