72 dudes I agree with the points you’ve raised, but we can only do our best with what’s available. China is ahead of the game when it comes to EVs but of course that is compromised by its use of coal. But we must still do what we can and if that means incentivising EVs then so be it. I have been as much of a petrolhead as anyone and if the choice had been on simple practicality or looks I would have gone for perhaps a Seat Atteca, or Skoda Karoq or a VW Tiguan. But I went for a Kia Soul because it was the best compromise between what I needed and what the Environment and future generations need.
I’m not trying to be holier than thou I just think we all have to do our bit.
By the way Stuart it’s a great car, well built and with a nice turn of pace when required.
