The Brave New World

 

It’s the 4^th Feb 2020 and I have just spent 4 months listening to co-workers talking about how they love their Tesla’s. My work place had installed free charging points and I am pondering a change of Car and I am ready to try electric. After discussing this with my wife we concluded we were going to have an EV as our next family car but we would lease instead of buying, after all at this point it still felt like a risk.

I need a SUV for reasons I won’t go into here, so my first port of call was the Tesla Model X……. “How much?”. So, okay the X is a bit out of my price range especially as we still were not 100% on EV’s.

So next was the Jaguar i-Pace but the exterior styling at the time did not quite float my boat which was strange as I have always been a Jaguar fan. For the record I now love the i-Pace from every angle.

So, option number 3 was the Audi e-Tron. I had driven Audi’s before, so I knew what to expect but can they build an EV?

Read a couple of reviews which all said the range was well down on its competitors but as my daily drive was 30 to 36 miles a day would it be an issue?

The styling and size fit the bill but once again the price was a little on the high side but after a bit of ponder I pulled the trigger and placed my order.

From that point I had no worry of my decision it was the total opposite I could not wait to start my EV journey.
