Fair enough Rich, if it was my decision I would still go for the Verve, my average over the past 11 months/5000 miles nearly 120 mpg, so big running cost to be made. Rich have you not considered a Hyundai Kona Ultimate EV AP £499 ?
That’s the main reason why we’re looking at this to save on the running costs, especially with most trips being local. All of the other large SUV plugins have AP more than we’re willing to spend. So it’ll have to be a hybrid or stick with normal petrol/diesel.
I did look at the Kona but we struggle with the boot space on the X1 so with that being smaller it’ll be worse.
We’re having a look at the Verve next week before deciding whether to get it or not. Lack of infotainment would be a shame after using BMWs excellent iDrive but reading reviews for other cars (5008, CRV, RAV4) the systems don’t seem that great on those anyway.
