Still looking for suitable EV
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2014 6:10 pm
Well I'm still looking for a suitable electric vehicle to advertise my business.
I did look into the Aixam but as soon as I looked and test drove one the idea was scrapped.
Sorry Aixam but the test drive experence was terrible.
I'm going to avoid the £70 per month battery rental as it should be called electric car stealth tax. Making a electric car more expensive to run as a 3 litre Jag.
So I am looking into much better vehicles around 2010 to 2012 just before the goverment decided to kill the electric car in the UK.
I do love the Leaf and always will but the light cream interior is not suitable for a electrical engineer.
I did view and test drive a mitsubishi I Miev and was quite impressed as its nice and simple but have a few concerns as the I Miev is a Jap import in 2010 making it worthless if I was ever to sell it on. Don't know about the reliability but would love to hear from any owners.
I have looked at the Renault Kangoo electric van but seems to be difficult to find one that has that £70 mugs tax.
Finally the Azure Dynamics electric Ford Transit Connect and ticks every box for a electric van and would suit my application perfectly but. Yes again but. Azure Dynamics have gone bust and I worry about servicing, parts availability etc.
if there's any body here that have had experence with the I Miev, Renault Kango and Transit Connect I would love to hear from you and your opinions.
