I love the idea of one. I very rarely do long distance drives and when I do I could easily organise it to allow for charging.Slenver wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 1:22 pmIt still depends on what you want from a car. I like manual sports cars with character and excitement, so have little interest in switching to electric. My missus likes to be as removed from the process of driving as possible and likes quiet, refined, automatic cars. We're looking at electric for her next.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 1:15 pm If I can get an EV next I will because they're genuinely better cars IMO
But where I live it probably won't be possible for some time. I'm in a first floor apartment without parking anywhere near.
There are a couple of charging points in the covered parking I can use in the winter, but I'm not sure how often I could actually take one of the spaces.
Living at 2000m is probably not ideal for the cold in the winter and the fact that it's about 22kms down a mountain before I drive anywhere sensible. I am sure I've been told that is not ideal either!!
But, TBF, if I could afford one and find decent parking, I'd probably got for a bike version cos that'd be a lot of fun I think
Like Slenver, I do like the idea of a manual sports car and whilst I suspect that electric would have its own buzz, I'm not sure it would match. In an ideal world I'd have an automatic every day car and a manual 2 seater soft top!! I suppose an electric could replace the everyday one (In about a million years when I can afford one - by which time everything will have changed, and I won't be able to drive anyway!! LOL)
