Afternoon, my next company car will definitely be an EV in anticipation of the 2% BIK rate in 2020. The 64kw Kona looks about a 95% match for what I need, the only real drawback would be the boot, which limits its flexibility as a true small family car...so, get one on order or wait for something abit bigger (but still around the £35k max mark)...what else is likely to be available before/ in 2020?

^ not sure, but the range is much more limited, the Kona looks to be getting 260 miles or so real world range, which is pretty much spot on...

There is a larger Kia Niro built on the same underpinnings as the Kona. It's due out soonish and around the same price. No clue if you can place orders yet though.
