why would anyone buy an electric car ?

Milan.

Well like I said, it's not for everyone, but I bought it because it was a comfy 7 seater that does 0-60 in under 5 seconds. It also has a full drive train and battery warranty for 8 years and unlimited miles.

That's comparable with the milage I got from a full tank in my petrol SLK and diesel Galaxy.

Different people have different requirements.
If you want something that is faster than your skoda, buy an electric one
If you want something that can be charged free from house solar panels, buy an electric car.
If your normal daily journey is less than 100 miles each way, consider an electric car.

If everybody had the same requirements, we would all be driving People's Cars, or as you might know them, Folks Wagons.

yes you are right and I agree, but at the same time this forum needs a bit life, everyone's reached middle age and the forum feels like it is on life support :-)

Maybe an ELECTRIC shock would bring it back to life.

Good for you. I have no use for a Porsche (the SLK was a temporary stop gap until I could get something bigger) and a v8 X5 (even assuming it's a 7 seater) is completely impractical for pootling for London. It's also significantly more expensive to buy, own and drive than my Tesla. As WTFH said though.... horses for courses.
