From adventure-seekers to blended families, new couples to retirees, dog owners to weekend footballers: we’re such a diverse bunch. And when buying a car, we look for one to suit our specific lifestyle. Family, friends, parents at the school gate and colleagues ask me all the time: “Is there an electric car out there to suit me?”
For a long time, electric vehicles (EVs) were synonymous with being expensive, having limited range, and not much choice in terms of shape and size. Some early efforts gave the whole sector a rather bad name (remember the little G-Wiz?). More usable pioneers such as the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe could eke out 130 miles on a good day – cute, but not for everyone. For a while, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that as far as EVs went, you could either have a Tesla, or not. And that was it.
