Electric car time

All-New MG4 EV XPOWER is the first of the next generation of high-performance hatchbacks. Its 64kWh battery produces a maximum power of 435PS (320kW) accelerating from 0 - 62 mph in 3.8 seconds.
MG4 EV XPOWER also introduces a brand-new all-wheel drive system, as well as enhanced brakes and launch control.

The new MGs are beyond wank. I test drove one for a while and it felt ok but I was on some crappy MG forum for a while and it's basically 50/50 if they fall apart or not.

Interior looks good but is all the cheapest possible stuff. Huge swerve after having one on order for a couple of months

….my daughter gets her electric cars through work. She has a Tesla & never complains about it but it doesn’t sound like a normal car when it’s switched on. You do need a car electric socket fitted to the outside of your house.

& a long electric lead to keep going lol

Pretty much identical situation. Ironically, we get the payout on her car which we can keep and lease for effectively free.

Want a medium sized car really, dog kids and their partners etc.

Looking at Volvo (I know), Tesla (I know), VW id series. Need one sharpish as her hire car is going tomorrow

Im looking at Tesla Model Y, VW ID5 and Skoda Enyaq.

Tesla Model Y should be in stock currently..

The Vauxhall Mokka-e is surprisingly nice. Maybe not the green one like but I was surprised.

I might start a petition so we can have Opel instead of rank Vauxhall like everyone else

I was loaned a Polestar 2 a few weeks ago.

Very nice indeed.

A good friend has one and loves it

They are THE standard when it comes to electric cars IMO. I am really leaning towards getting one. My only concern is if the tech has been superseded by some of the newer cars on the market.

I never understood why we had Vauxhall

It's really nice to drive and the look and feel of the interior is more of a traditional engine driven car.

The usual volvo quality and build is clear. I don't think you'd go far wrong if that's what you went for.

I'd go for a Volvo if I had the chance, they don't like people dying in their cars, therefore I figure it would be the best bet not to be incinerated after tapping the nose of the car against a brick wall at 8mph.

Mokka-e is decent but honestly feels like a bargain bin car somehow, can't explain it.

I've loved my experiences driving a Hyundai Kona, but no idea how available those are in the UK currently.

The badge is well cooler though.

No experience with that other than showroom, but in general Hyundai's electric models seem to be quite good.

I saw my newly beloved Peugeot have proper electrics out now, but it's only for the 208 and that's too small for what you're looking for I believe.

I have been burned by French cars too many times
