I'm a relatively new E-Golf driver and it's my first EV. The other car in our household is an old X3. I'll say the E-Golf is our main because we've taken a 15k mileage allowance on the lease so try and use it as much as possible...plus it's my the best to drive of course

It would be good to be in a position to afford 2 EV's but not quite there at the minute. Ideally something a little bigger with a 200 mile range would help with the occasional longer family trip away!

My e Golf was bought quite definitely as a second car.

Having had it for 3 months now, it's looking like it might be my main car.

Ours was bought as our '1st' car 2 years ago but it's now the '2nd' car as we have 2 BEVs and the other one has the bigger battery.
The Golf is still the car we prefer to drive, as long as its not a longer trip.

My e-Golf is my main car, though I have a VW T5.1 campervan for those other times. But I do use the T5.1 for runs to the tip, bicycle carrying, as well as trips out.

The bicycle carrying aspect is one thing that the ID.3 interests me.

My Golf is my Main car, even though we have my wife's 208 Derv "aka the tractor"...

I cover 25-27k PA in my car. When we do go further than the cars range, we are quite happy to stop for a coffee (any excuse) we have come to embrace the stops as part of the journey. But dont get me wrong, it would certainly be nice to have a car thats got 250+ miles so stopping is a choice not the Need... BUT Im just not willing to pay through the nose for a 50-64 kwh battery to cover those miles. 30-40 mins of my time and a £2.60 Americano is fine for now

It gets plenty of use then. Agree that’s not the right value proposition in the 250 mile space at the moment. A single stop is fine but anything that requires more than one/doesn’t have a destination charging option would tend to make me think twice

My previous Ev was a 27kwh Kia Soul that this time of year only had approx 75 miles of range. My daily commute is 68 miles with no workplace option of charging. Everyday was a Squeaky Bum day I put 78k on it in 30mths. It was a fantastic car, just let down by its lack of range (for me) As a side note Kia tested the battery after those miles and it only lost 4%. The car was rapid charged every single workday and filled too 100% on the overnight charge cycle. not treated the way we are told to treat batteries, but it lasted well.
