I had up to a budget of £45K to spend on a car recently and I bought a nearly new diesel X3 although I had spent tons of time looking at EV's. My rationale was that I think a) There is no real second hand market for any of the EVs I was looking at b) I still think all of the 'capable' EVs are poor VFM c) Having worked in the tech industry I know how stung you can get if you are an early adopter, and I believe as evidence suggests EV technology will improve significantly in the next 3 years or so . I am PRO EV but now wasnt the right time for me. I regularly do more than one 200 mile journey sometimes in a day and even the best EV struggles with this. I say let the early adopters get on with it and buy the more capable product nearer 2030 !
