I've got a replacement hire car which is electric. I love it and now wish I'd gone for an electric. I'm fucking tapped like. Audis are not a reliable brand, and the thing I most value is reliability. So I buy another fucking Audi. Had my second hand Audi q5 for 8 years without a single issue … until it was nicked. You should trade it in for a Tesla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33194 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We're getting a Skoda enyaq, good battery for mileage, (not that I'll particularly need that), excellent reviews on it. Obviously wouldn't have gone electric if I couldn't get a home charger as it would too much of a ball ache for no real financial benefit. It's on the wife's motability so the net down payment cost for us is just under a £1000 pounds although it cost me £1300 to get the installation, (it should've been about a quarter of that but complications about feasibility of getting it in, (I'm on a looped supply), plus everyone back heeling it onto somebody else meant I just organised it myself.

Just looked at the list price and "eek"!

Yeah, but that's another thing isn't it? What condition will the battery be and how much to replace that? Second hand cars have gone up loads in general too. The trade in value for mine was more than double expected 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most manufacturers guarantee their batteries for eight years so unless you're planning to keep it for longer than that it isn't much of a worry.

I'd say it is if you haven't got anything to put as a down payment on your next car tbh. Hopefully the technology will continue to improve and prices will drop, or I'll just have to become a bus wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
