Incredibly agile considering the skinny tyres.
What EV are you interested in next and why?
Tesla Model S or VW ID.4 as I need more space. I want something that feels as special as my i3 which is proving difficult.

Daily commute 50-60 miles per day, only ever needed and used a standard 3 pin plus charger.

Currently with Scottish Power, would not recommend, looking to change to EV tariff soon.
