This looks quite attractive ......
....until you get to 'prices start from £33,000.....'
....which seems an absurd price for a mundane runabout.
And its improved range makes it weigh a staggering 500kg more than our similar sized Peugeot 2008 130 EAT6 which cost around half that price nearly two years ago. This is an environmentally negative aspect of EVs which never seems to be considered; all that extra energy being generated to move umpteen zillion tons of excess weight around the planet.
The price isn't relevant as nobody, well almost, will actually buy it. What will the monthly payment be?, that's the important thing.
As someone who loves light cars, I agree about the weight issue. Presumably as battery technology improves, they will become smaller and lighter for the same power density.
