I got an EV 6 months ago and luckily I can charge at home. I have done 3 trips outside my cars range and it hasn’t been a problem for us charging.
The longest I’ve spent charging was 19 mins. I charge at home maybe once every week and it’s so cheap and what really helps is cabin preconditioning or cabin comfort. No longer do I get into a cold car in the winter or I can keep it cool while having lunch or shopping. So an Ev is perfect for us now.
Although I do need an suv and looking at the 6 recently in a car park and it looked low, So I’d have to sit in one to see. It will certainly open up other options and is worth considering, if you can charge at home and like us only do the odd longer trip.
As for different trim levels and AP prices it really is only something you can only compare the trim level on each different model.
Just got our 1st car with a panoramic roof. As it was the only trim available on the scheme and its brilliant. We really missed it, when we didn’t have the car for a month and the hire car was so dark inside, without one.
Would I pay extra probably not, but for better more comfortable seats that powered or adaptive cruise I would. As they so important to me. Although I have never added an extra to an MB car always what comes as standard.
It is also all about the actual drive and that often decides which I go for although you might not get to do a test drive in the trim level you’ll get.
