Electric cars.

[old dog new tricks]

The new model is by some considered less efficient due to the extra size and weight the MK1 is one of the lighter EVs

Most of the affordable second hand cars are 50kWh batteries or less meaning my only real options below £20k are the Hyundai Kona and MG4. They both seem nice, but it's not exactly the breadth of choice I'd hoped for.

This car is a cat S but according to the owner, professionally repaired after he bought it. 78kWh and 22k miles for £18k

Also in that price range are (in no particular order) Citreon e-C3 and e-C4, Corsa-e and Mokka-e, Kia Niro and Soul, Peugeot e208 and e2008, VW ID3 and ID4, Renault Megane E-Tech. All between ~44kWh and 64kWh.

Mentioning Polestar 2, I see a bunch of 1 year old cars with only delivery mileage on them for £25-27k:

Yeah, I bought one earlier this year with less than 6k on it.

Great car, mine is the dual motor which has mad power. But still does considerable mileage on a single charge. Have got 350km out of it on mostly motorway with no sparing of the horses. Did 680km in one day a couple of months ago. Some public charging necessary obviously, but all done in dead time bar an 8 minute splash and dash for an added 20kWh.

Public charging is a bit cheaper in Ireland than the UK. AC charging as low as 33c and DC from about 48c. (28p and 40p).

The only thing that goes in my boot is shopping so it's never been something I base buying a car on.

I've just bought a Yaris Cross.
Any thoughts before I take delivery?

Enjoy and have fun 🙂

@matt.

Did you pick up the car?

Picking up this Friday. It needed a little touch up on the rear bumper.
Last service was in August; the second after 2 years and 19,000 miles.
I have paid up front for x2 services and MOT's, so next August I'll pop it in for service and MOT.
Pictures to follow at the weekend.....
