I'm looking at the new Citigoe iV...

Seems to tick a lot of the boxes for a daily sub 60 mile drive...

Renault have scrapped the battery lease thing on the new Zoes, now you buy (and own) the whole thing.

Unless it’s a great deal I would hold off on the BMW i3 as it’s been around a while.

You could be waiting a while for the VW, until their production catches up.

New Zoe looks good.

You need to give us some more criteria...

Range required daily, budget, number of seats, boot space etc etc.

We have an i3, it is utterly brilliant as a town vehicle, however I would absolutely not recommend it for stints on the motorway. (it will do it but its thoroughly unpleasant, particularly in high winds)

The Hyundai's are by all accounts pretty good (but just nasty to look at) etc etc

You really need to give more details.
Especially on budget, because at the moment, I'm saying Porsche Taycan but if your budget is £30k then I'd have to change my recommendation...

For those trips to Aldi to stock up on cheap multi-packs of stuff, perhaps a DAF LF Electric would fit the bill?

Think he'd be better buying the Daf. More space in the boot, more presence in the car park. Never gets intimidated by anyone with a diesel Chelsea Tractor.

911 Turbo and fk bothering with an EV.

I mean with the cracking detail you gave us and that you put it in “car buying” as is the place for what car threads, if you ask a silly question with insufficient information you’ll get useless answers.
