I thought they were over €90KWell worth dropping over to Audi in Sandyford and take the e-tron for a test drive if you haven’t driven fully electric before, you’ll be blown away.
The e-tron 55 is, the e-tron 50 starts at €75k though. And of course that's assuming you are looking to burn money by buying new, there are nearly new 50/55 models on carzone for €70-75k . Or bring one in from the UK and you're down closer to €60k.I thought they were over €90K
It will also save you the hassle of going Vegan.Range and cost don't seem to be an issue. You have a great opportunity to avoid buying a dirty diesel. Anecdotally EV drivers seem to love their cars and many would say they'll never go back to ICE.
Not half as insufferable as those with a love affair for ICE engines. I look forward to the day when pumping out noxious fumes while driving is as socially unacceptable as smoking indoors.It will also save you the hassle of going Vegan.
It's one or the other though; vegans who drive EV's (or worse, cycle) are insufferable.
And there's the crux of the matter. No cars with decent range and insufficient infrastructure investment to suit your average Sheila or Sean citizen.
Really? There are many options available. In our case only the Tesla model S/X could easily take 3 child seats. With only 2 kids there would have been many options.And there's the crux of the matter. No cars with decent range and insufficient infrastructure investment to suit your average Sheila or Sean citizen.
VW iD3 says hello
That and the fact that half the Carbon Footprint of your cars occurs before the engine is turned on, more if you drive low mileage and run a small ICE car. This has been covered extensively elsewhere but suffice to say I'm not a fan of outsourcing our pollution to the poorest people on earth.And there's the crux of the matter. No cars with decent range and insufficient infrastructure investment to suit your average Sheila or Sean citizen.
Only out. You have to buy new. As someone who will never buy a new car, it is not an option just yet.
I can just about hear one from Wolfsburg or Mexico or where-ever they're assembled.VW iD3 says hello
Don't doubt your information and would guess they're going to be in short supply... but there's one in my estate since earlier this week.You can pre-order an ID.3 since 01/10/2020 according to VW. So it's not really a "thing" yet, just a page on the dealers' order books. Even their website won't allow you to configure one, a week after the virtual launch date in Ireland.

» ID.3 has a charging capacity up to 125kW and can charge from 5% to 80% in only 35 minutes with IONITY [On average I suppose]
» A record-setting, high-speed charging capacity of up to 350kW DC (depending on capacity of car) [And on availability of charging points]
» An experience so intuitive you already know how to use it.
» Fully integrated with We Charge
» All IONITY stations are powered by 100% renewable energy
