Electric cars-got to be a viable option now?

[paule23]

Back in 2013 you could only really buy a Leaf, a Zoe or an i3 with a maximum battery size of 24kwhr and range if about 80 miles.*

Things have certainly progressed since then.


* There were a few other EVs about but really nothing to get excited about unless you had £100k to buy a Tesla Roadster.

The first really useable EV, the Tesla model S wasn’t on sale until 2014.

My first EV was an i3, followed by the very rare Merc B250e, 100 mile range and no rapid charging!

My lease is up for renewal early next year and the options available now are brilliant compared with 5 years ago. Most have 250 mile range as standard, I’m spoilt for choice.

It was a real shame that the B250e didn’t have rapid charging, I reckon it would have sold like hot cakes if it had.
