Getting upset by it is worse.

Im not upset. Just shows a lack of vocab recycling stuff you only see in the internet. It’s about 2 yrs too late too

People have choices. As said some people won’t buy the sun. Others avoided Japanese made stuff. Etc etc. vegans avoid meat. Who are you to preach

I'm open to suggestions. However it needs to be able to fit adults comfortably in the rear, have a decent amount of boot space. Etron GT-s, Porsche Taycans etc are obviously out.

I'm not getting a Tesla, and it has to be available on the company lease scheme - so some of the newer Chinese EVs are out.

How tall are the adults? I know MEB have gone up on our zenith scheme but worth a look at one of them? Rear seat room is rather surprising on them.

The Peugeot was quite nice. It didn't have the same level of tech as the BYD, however everything felt relatively well laid out. The main reason to look at the Peugeot is the 7 seats. We can see a lot of times where the extra seats would come in handy. It was a bit tighter inside than the Kia, but that also meant it was a bit less tank like outside.

I had a sit inside one, and was surprised just how big and how much value it offers - not sure the cost difference to you vs the EV9 but on 'normal' lease it is way cheaper ~£450 for the GT 73kWh version with 10k miles.
 
I've had Co Charger for 4 months now, got first message today for someone to charge at my house on Saturday. Anyone using it? Straight forward I assume as the payment goes into your bank.

I cannot quite believe that you can get 900Km/560miles on a single charge not doing school area speeds. That would be a couple of weeks of normal use in the summer without charging for us.

Yep, it's really good value. We're looking at the 97kwh version, single motor. Was coming out at £518 for a e5008 GT Premium + leather package with 16k pa.

My only concern is that on the Peugeot configurator site, the 97kwh version has a delivery date of December. Not sure if the lease company would allow us to keep our current car until this one is delivered.

It’s in Thailand so I assume it’s fairly warm but not too hot at this time of year so limited heating/cooling but yeh, incredibly efficient.
 
wheel gate ,so the AI was not mentioning the significance of DCC for permitting you to have bigger wheels, without breaking them or you back,
maybe johhny knows if they reduce the shock of the initial impact of a pot-hole, or just the exiting of the pot-hole or the rear wheel hit ?
so cupra or taviscans with that option are attractive, for me

Similar to lighter ICE cars where the only BMW M suspension offering I considered, were those with adaptive for the local pot-holes (think of the pot-holeschildren),
before eventually going to the dark-side/Audi.

rolls royce (00 too ?) solution to avoid wheel breaking would be the chinese assisitive driving that is remembering where the pot-holes are
- some genuine value there, versus a tesla/other blindly following the white line through every pot-hole.
