Keep going back to BMW i3

[Greenmantle]

I'm getting near to installation date of my EV charger. Currently the daily drive is a 16 year old Merc diesel which isn't ULEZ compliant and living very close to the outer edge of London will mean that driving will become a real pitta if Khan has his way.

So I have been looking at my options and I have to say that I don't have any apart from the BMW i3. Why?

(1) Need something with a decent range ~180 miles plus.
(2) The Merc diesel is well specced and so I don't want to lose that level of luxury.
(3) Lots of the current crop of EV's are massive weighing over 2 tonnes whilst I'm after a city car / Dads Taxi etc.
(4) Decided on a full BEV rather than a PHEV since I feel that they will be next in line for some additional revenue generation by TFL.

Anyone else bemoaning the choice available?

thanks for all the replies.

yep should have given a range window of 120-180 miles which with my current usage will be every 2-3 days. I did have a look at the merc eqa and the volvo xc40 recharge but again they felt bigger than i needed.

as said in my original post this will be my daily town / school run car and i do have another petrol car if non London motorway journeys are required.
