[Misc] Electric Cars

[chickens]

Not any more, sadly – it went back this morning after I spent six months with one. I absolutely loved it on the whole – here are my thoughts (with a final one or two reports to be added...).

The biggest praise I can give it is that if I was offered the keys for any extended period of time to either an ID.7 or a BMW i5 (which 'my' ID.7 replaced), I would take the Volkswagen every time. The i5 might be better as a driver's car, but to live with, give me the comfort and ride quality of the ID.7.

Is the Enyaq the Skoda version of the ID7? A brand new Enyaq pulled up at the next charging point to mine today, and it’s had a bit of a facelift.

Good report btw, always worth knowing what a car’s like to live with. Thanks for posting.

Sort of - they are both built on the same platform, but ID.7 is more like a saloon (VW refers to it as a 'fastback), than an SUV.

The global debut of new Enyaq only took place yesterday, so doubtful it was one of the NEW new ones. But I think there was a MY24 update, so it may well have been that?

I got my MG4 this week and am very happy with it. It's quite quick and drives well.


Which is nice

That’s extremely helpful - many thanks!

Still get range anxiety - but mainly because I use pool cars, and not everyone plugs them in properly, so they are only at 50%!
