Good morning all!
Have recently signed up to the forum because I feel the time is coming for us to switch over to an EV.
A bit about me, I’m an electrician and spent a bit of time working for Pod Point (no longer) so EVs are not a complete strange phenomenon to me however I’ve never actually owned one myself. We currently have a 330D BMW
Over the coming days I’ll start scouring the forum for information so far, a couple of pages in, I think I’ve ascertained the following:
- tyres are pretty expensive compared to ICE vehicles
- insurance can be quite wild for Teslas, but shopping around should negate this?
Are there any other major things to look out for? I suspect we’d be looking at a Model 3 of some description. Admittedly I’ve not got fully up to speed on specs and what is a must have / good to have features etc…
I guess like all brands it has its issues, any particular models or years that are best avoided?
Thank you for any advice
