Looking forward to it.

After owning my BEV for 6 months now, I can honestly say I wouldn't go back to an ICE car as my daily driver. The performance is utterly bonkers (and I mean superbike quick!) and, apart from being immense fun to drive, there are just so many benefits to owning one (such as near-zero maintenance, being able to 'fill up' at home, climate control that I can turn on any time, and from anywhere!, without having to start an engine, etc, etc).


Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of an angry V8/V10 as much as the next man, and I don't plan to part with my S8 any time soon, but EVs are the future. That's not to say that I think ICE cars will/should go away; they'll just become rarer, maintained and driven by enthusiasts, much like steam trains are ... and we still have those.
