I would also suggest a PHEV. Volvo do good ones as do Skoda with the Superb.

great looking car and the range should be up to claimed compared to current Niro. The question is the ioniq 5 will probably arrive before there is any real 350kw SC infrastructure , which then goes back to if you want easy long distance buy a Tesla with there SC infra. If you don't want long miles and easy SC infra then buy anything else.
Camping trips will never be the same again
They all come with at least one years’ free use of the Ionity 250-350kW/hr charge points. The first 3000 come with 2 years free access to Ionity. But if the charge curves on their other current products are anything to go by they won’t charge at that rate for very long.

That Gridserve place is just 10 miles from me and has multiple 350Kw charging points.
Once places like that become common place our range issues will be solved.

will be intersting to see what speed chargers employers typically install, 50Kw from the outset would enable employees to juggle cars around during the day, and get higher throughput,
sticking with 22KWac could be short-sighted.
Not really, if you work in a place with a large amount of cars 50+, it would make much more sense to have lots of 7kW chargers, especially one V2G is available and businesses are given incentives to have their employees connect up their cars.
I think lots of slower chargers would make more sense. People don't want to be moving cars around in the day.
There also an order of magnitude cheaper.
Having loads of 7kw posts (which load balance across the day to avoid a big spike at 9am) is far more useful than having a few rapids. Cars are going to be parked for the best part of 9 hours, what’s the rush?

Agree - lots of 7kw is much better for a work/office situation. Even 3kw would be useful for many people if they are there every day.
Maybe have a couple of 50kw points for visitors if it's practical to do so.

That is eye-wateringly cheap! Are you sure it is right? Someone doing 12k miles a year might spend nearly £180 a month on petrol.. this would almost be like getting a free car!
So I have been informed by a friend, he said they were new offers and he's considering getting rid of his Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost for one
For that much I would have no hesitation to buy.
You can see why though, 2019 Model 3 SR+ are listed on auto trader for only a few k less than a new one which is nuts when you think about it. Why would you buy a used when when a new one is only a few k more and it has the facelift.

Interesting!
We ordered the ID3 however still waiting for a delivery date a week on.
The issue is all these cheap quoted deals are based on 6k per year and then increase quite significantly when you go over 10k.
The ID3 is costing us £208 net based on 10k so still a decent saving and this is based on 20% tax bracket.
Actually just checked and we did a quite for one of these before ordering the ID3, came in at just over £280 net on 10k miles.

No deposit at all and covers insurance and maintenance all in.
Basically its a salary sacrifice so it takes the payments on your gross salary and you pay less tax, NI and pension which then reduced the net cost.
Yes it effects pension but for us it's only around £30 per month so not a huge difference.
Makes even more sense for the higher tax payers hence why many Dr's and consultants use this option.
