First some background, this is my first post on this forum so I hope that asking for recommendations is okay! I have a ICE car that I use for longer journeys and weekends, however I am looking at getting an EV through work to commute in. As the car is leased the reliability is not really an issue to me.
My normal commute is a 80 mile round trip that is 95% motorway with no traffic, however for a couple of days a week this would increase to 120 miles, again, almost all motorway. Charging is available at work if needed however, I would like to avoid using it where possible as the rate is not very good.
Below are four cars that I'm interested in, I'm booking test drives over the next few weeks however these are some thoughts and opinions I have so far:
38 kWh Hyundai Ioniq
Renault Zoe ZE50
Really what I'm looking for is some people's opinions, real world feedback on range, and what car you would like to spend around 2 hours of your day in!

38 kWh Hyundai Ioniq
- Larger car with lane assist, seems like it would be good for motorway
- Fairly nice spec car it seems what's interior build quality like?
- Not sold so much on the looks.
- Cold-Mild motorway range (evdatabase): 110 - 150
- Smaller car, really nicely built, unique looking
- Nice place to be looks wise, however is comfort a bit questionable?
- I3S is better for motorway work due to being more stable?
- Cold-Mild motorway range (evdatabase): 100 - 130
- Very new car, looks really cool
- Not sure what the infotainment and comfort will be like until I test drive, no experience in the field
- Cold-Mild motorway range (evdatabase): 130 - 170
Renault Zoe ZE50
- Seems to have the largest range of the 4
- Again, unsure of infotainment and comfort.
- Cold-Mild motorway range (evdatabase): 140 - 180
