Ended up buying a Certified Pre Owned 2016 SE just off lease with low miles. It was an absolute bargain, and it has the balance of all the factory warranties. We liked how it drove, and the familiarity and ease of use of it was a key factor as it’ll be a second car for the missis, who is uninterested in novelty and complication. She only does short city roundtrips (school run mainly) of a few miles every day, so it’s not important to us about it being the “small” battery non-heat pump version; it’ll never be taken more than 15 miles away from home. I’d say our usage profile could not be better suited to an EV. It has the DC fast charger option so it can be fast charged in 30 mins if need be on a longer trip. I’ve also got a 240V/50A outlet in the garage, so I can install a 7.2kW fast charger at home if I need. Anyone with a similar usage profile ended up getting a proper charger installed at home?

Ive owned one for two years. It is not our only car but has become the one we do most miles in. It is on winter tyres now which affects the range a bit but still around 100 miles on a full charge. It is just as practical as a regular golf. Recommended. If you have specific questions fire away and I will try and answer.
How much would you estimate the winter tyres have affected its range? Did you go for specific low rolling resistance ones, or just generic?Gassing Station | EV and Alternative Fuels | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
