EV general discussion

Ah that's a shame. In my head it was OG explorer tank size.

No - that would be logical.

Instead Ford decided the smaller of their new EV SUVs should be named after one of their existing big SUVs and their bigger new EV SUV should take on the name of an old 80s coupe model.
 
I quite like the EV9, by all accounts it’s not the most efficient, but it looks cool.

Pugs…..well French cars and electrics has never been a winning combination

I had an EV9 behind me on the way to Newport, at first glance in the rear view mirror I thought I was being followed by something straight out of the pages of 2000 AD :p
 
Probably have to consider ev9 value from a price per kg perspective ...contrarian heavyweight suv for the usa tax break, more is less; would dlockers have to reinforce drive

Stellantis lots still made in France if you are a staunch remainer.
 
So options are basically Enyaq or annoyingly, the Renault Scenic has come in very inexpensive. The id7 estate also popped up. Think I'll need to check them out.

Explorer is disappointingly small. Such a shame.

Ev6 isn't on the list.
Ionic 5 looks in shooting range but it's a weird looking car.

Probs end up with a GLE or X5 diesel, lol.
 
I’d take the ID7 over the Enyaq. It’s superior build quality, better to drive and has bags of space. I like the ionic 5, it’s got some design flair, can’t say the same about VW or Skoda. The Cupra Tavascan on the list yet?
 
Cupra not there. What looks like highest spec ID7 Estate with range extender is very inexpensive tho....534 mo...
 
There’s basically only Match pro and GTX with the ID7. Match pro has a 77kw battery and the GTX and Pro S have 86KW battery. Get the Interior and Exterior/pan packs, the funky dimming pan roof is cool. The interior pack gets the HK audio and better massaging heat/cooling seats.

But they are reasonably well specced as std, ie HUD, massage and heated seats etc
 
Went to VW earlier and barely any electrics in sight. They had an ID5 which looked OK but boot was very compromised being a coupe. I think ID7 is a real contender. I can get it for £540/mo net with 25k miles over the lease. That's the one with the funky roof too.
