I have gone to the dark side......
 
Took delivery of my first BEV a few days back !!!

BMW i4 M-Sport (pictures will follow)

So far absolutely loving it and the handling is very similar to an ICE powered BMW 3/4 so when in Sport mode is heaps of fun (not just a point a squirt EV to impress your friends in a straightline ;) )

Driving using just the one pedal is really good as is the preheat function (can be used even when not plugged in) and I can charge for free at work so another bonus +++

Hopefully something in the pipeline soon for a good test of what she is like when doing long distance.
Just doing short at the moment (max distance is 20 mile round trip and averaged 3.7 miles/kwh)

As an long distance EV driver for >8 years and >160k miles, I can confirm that long distance cruising in an EV is an absolute pleasure and a doddle +++
