I like the VW ID3, and new Porsche is oh so pretty and lovely inside but they both suffer the identical issue that VAG are failing to address, and will be their downfall - Charging.

Tesla, very wisely, have invested very, very heavily in infrastructure making the Tesla truly usable over long distance.

Every other manufacturer is living in a dream world where you're going to happily join a queue of Nissan leafs for one of the couple of fast-ish chargers at most service areas, assuming they're working, online, not vandalised and compatible - Oh, and you have an account, the app downloaded bla bla bla.

There are ICE cars, Generic EV's, and Tesla - 3 very separate categories and sadly none of the Generic EV's are of the slightest bit of interest to me as they are all city hoppers for doing shopping or the local school run only, and I don't see that changing overnight......
