    Our local Hyundai dealer was brilliant, in that they allowed me to have two 24 hour test drives with different cars. A 30 minute test drive tells you nothing. All new cars will impress over 30 minutes, but it’s only when you have them for a day that you start to get a more balanced view.

    I am used to driving autos, so didn’t really notice any difference when driving an EV, other than the regeneration aspects that, personally, I really disliked (when you take your foot off the accelerator the car can feel like it’s braking – usually this can be adjusted so it’s less intrusive – but others love it).

    Just relax and try to enjoy it. I love test drives, but have taken many cars back well before the full day has ended as I’d established after half a day that I didn’t like them 😂

    At the risk of stating the obvious, presumably you can charge at home? If not, personally I wouldn’t go down the EV route.
