Hi Mike, have you had a drive of the Soul yet? It really is easy to drive and if you like a little speed it certainly can supply it. It’s a real shame the ap is so big otherwise a lot more people would be going for it. Having said that the Seat Ateca is a terrific car as well. From what I’ve seen the cost of EV is about a third of the cost of a ICE vehicle so there should be considerable savings. Good luck with your choice mate.
