So… I’ve decided. My next car will be all electric.
That’s right – I’ll most probably move away from my hybrid BMW – which I’d like to add, I absolutely love. But I feel, there’s alot of all-electric vehicles available – and their ‘miles range’ is getting better.
You’ve got your trendsetters such as Tesla – yes, very much on the cards.
Then there’s the i8 and i3 from BMW. Neither do it for me, I need more space.
Mercedes have plenty of hybrids and an electric one coming out in 2019 called EQC.
But… I’ve always had a soft spot for Audi. And noticed, they have the mighty named e-tron coming out in 2019.
Lovely looking motor. With an impressive 248 miles… you can’t really go wrong. Or can you….?
Yes you can. When you price it quite high!
£70k starting?! seriously?!!
Sorry – but that’s expensive! – I don’t want to be paying that much… I’ll be honest – rather have the Tesla!
But Bal… you said there’s a few electric cars out there, what else is there?
Well… good question. In addition to the above, you’ve got the Nissan Leaf – phenomenal EV! (electric vehicle)
There’s the Porsche Taycan which is coming out – or should be out now.
Mini are releasing an all electric Mini this year – but the other one that caught my eye which i’m interested in, is the Volvo XC40.
Last I heard – it’s around the £50k mark and will do around 150-170 miles. Coming early 2020.
So there’s a few cars to chose from… and it looks like the choice is only getting better…. AND i’m noticing more charging points. Only the other day I was at the local tennis centre, and noticed they had recently installed 2 new charging points!
We’re heading in the right direction for EV’s – and sales are increasing also.
Diesel sales have drastically dropped!
So there you go… EV is the future, and it’s happening quicker than what we thought! – and the above graph only shows it to 2016…. 2017… 2018… had even bigger sales!!
So, you’re probably wondering – which is the most popular car?
More blue’s will appear on the chart in due course….
