Oh okay, excuse my ignorance I know nothing about these electric cars and the mechanics of them. Spent a good hour googling and reading last night. Tesla supercar sounds interesting!
Yes the Tesla is amazing!
Sadly out of reach for the average person. Starting price £55k rising to well over £100k for a top spec one.
I love the instant torque from 0rpm.
Land Rover made an electric Defender as a test mule. I believe it was quite impressive.
My Leaf is not really a long distance car having a real world range of about 90 miles in the cooler weather we have been having. The range improves with warmer temperatures. There are lots of rapid charging points at most service stations. But that isn't the point of it. Drive around town for about 90-100 miles costs me about £2.50. No tax. No congestion charge. Some of the charging infrastructure is free.
It is a different way of life. Most people have them as second cars. Me? When the Freelander is sold it will be my main means of transportation. Live life on the edge!
