I’m sort of in a similar position, I’d like to commit to an electric car now but at £40+ k for the sort of car I want I’m not pulling the trigger just yet as I feel in 5 years time that car could be considerably cheaper or there will be other options by then. Something like an iD3 would be perfect for all my needs right now, the only limitation is I have no electricity supply in my garage where the golf is parked and that’s a good distance from the house, there is a drive in front of the house but that’s not actually mine so I can’t always say I can park there, in the next couple of years we plan to move and at which point with our own drive and garage I’ll be looking at electric cars. Also both of our cars at still quite new so no rush to replace with electric.
Interestingly I was driving home from work today and past a convoy of electric cars, I’m
Not sure if they where doing some sort of press thing. There were all the new models including a new VW iD4 which looked both very nice but also didn’t stand out like many electric cars at manufacturers have a thing about making them “futuristic” also in the same convoy was a Hyundai something which was ugly and looked like it had dozens of little lights to make up the headlights all hidden behind the grill. That one didn’t have the green strip on the numberplate so not sure it was an electric one. A side from that the rest of them all looked like nice cars but even the small ones I dread to think what they cost.
Back when I bought my golf new it was a £32k car and I thought that was a lot, you could get a golf R for the same money, so £40k+ for a ID3 just seeems insane to me
