Would I be better with a diesel or an EV if I do a lot of miles?

What might be the better (used) purchase, an Audi Q7 diesel or a Q7 e-tron? I do mainly motorway journeys but with some town and non-motorway driving. Assume around 12,000 miles a year on the motorway and 6000 non-motorway - a total of 18k. I don't particularly need 7 seats (occasionally useful, though). Any thoughts, assuming similar prices from the main dealer? Thanks so much.

We'd recommend diesel for 18,000 miles per year. We rate the 3.0-litre diesel used in the Q7 highly.
