Decisions. Decisions. We have extended our lease until March 22. At the end we intended to get an EV. The reason for this is we do a lot of miles. Although there are a few EV’s on the scheme, none as of yet fully meet our requirements. Ideally we would like something close to what we already have, bmwx1. Do we hold out until the end of the lease in the hope that similar cars come onto the scheme. Or do we make the move now. The Kona for price is excellent. But the boot is too small and rear seat space. The E niro is bigger but not on the scheme. If only there was an EV on the scheme the same as our BMW. If there was I expect the AP will be £4k +. Do we go for the Kona and live with it for £499 or wait and pay £4k.
Nobody has a crystal ball im afraid but i cannot ever see an EV the size of the X1 with long range appearing on the scheme anytime soon simply due to the price. Something along the lines of the Skoda Enyaq may appear but it would have to be in the lower spec which usually means lower range. 300 miles plus with a high finish will never appear on this scheme i dont think, not from so called premium brands anyway. The Koreans are your best bet for both range and tech spec and if i were signing up right now i would get the Kona as its a no brainer, even though i love my Kia Soul the AP would do it for me.
