I ran into the same issue when we searched for our EVs. 99% of the online listings were either demo cars or spoken-for orders. But eventually after calling dozens of dealerships we found our Volkswagen ID.4 and Mustang Mach-e.

I hope you like it. Sandy Munro did a teardown of the ID-4. After inspection he felt they had used really cheap parts and didn't like it. I myself stay away from VW as the cost to repair them is insane expensive. VW repair costs are way above other manufacturers.

Thanks for the enthusiastic video. Hope you enjoy your new whip. They say it’s a glorious vehicle to drive but I couldn’t forgive the lack of a flat floor reducing it to essentially a 4 person vehicle. And giving it a cockpit rather than cabin feel. And apparently the turning circle is huge. In the UK I’ve got a GV60 which is only 4.515m in lengthy but its 11.94m turning circle is disappointing and sometimes inconvenient especially given the size of UK city/town roads, parking spaces and parking lots. I understand the i4 has a turning circle of 12.5m! But I think sub £100k in the EV world all the vehicles have some compromise. It’s a matter of picking what fits you best. So wishing you all the best with it.

What big maintenance is there on an EV at the 3 year interval? I thought EV maintenance is typically limited to tyres, brake pads and maybe discs depending on driving style/frequency of use (my Rx-8 with too infrequent use years ago ended up with rusted brake discs which needed replacing), brake fluid top up, washer fluid top up, coolant top up and air conditioning gas top up. Have I missed something? It’s been suggested routine annual service/checks of an EV should be around £100 UK pounds!
