    We didn’t want a BEV, even though we can charge at home, but we looked at the i4 as IMHO it was the best looking car on the scheme when we were last looking to change. In addition to it being a BEV, we would have discounted though, it as it felt very cramped inside and it was nigh on impossible to get in and out of the back of it without considerable difficulty and discomfort. The boot wasn’t great for a wheelchair either. I can’t imagine that it’s terribly practical for many people with disabilities, but if it ticks all the boxes and you’ve got your head around the downsides of having an EV (as well as the obvious positive of lower running costs as long as you can charge at home) then IMO it’s the only desirable car that’s been on the scheme for some time, so I’m sure that many will welcome its return. Very few private or fleet buyers go for the 35 model though, so demonstrators will usually be the more desirable (and more powerful) 40 model, so do try to get a drive in the model you’d be ordering.

    Seconded, on all points. Certainly a desirable car and great to see it back on the list, but my wife found it impossible to get into the passenger seat as the dashboard stuck out so much.
