Mick drives a Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S 77kWh 2021.
This is Mick’s first electric car, he’s owned the ID.3 under 1 year and drives 30,000-40,000 miles annually. The current mileage of the car is between 30,000-40,000 miles and he achieves 300 miles from a full charge.
Why did you choose the Volkswagen ID.3?
Best range at the right price. It’s a work car that I have, not for leisure.
Positives – List 3 or more reasons why you love this electric car
When we purchased this car we found out it was a press release car for VW so had all the accessories installed, every thing works fine, no faults, just heavy on tyres because of the weight of the car. But we still got 32k miles out of the first set of Goodyears and we’re now on all-season Michelins.
