What is wrong with the e Golf?
Well under £40k, 150 mile real world range and sensible acceleration, not Tesla silliness.
BUT... and it is a big but. According to Autocar depreciation is expected to be steep, only 25% residual value at 4 years, compared to 40% for a conventional Golf. So PCP costs will be high.
I guess that it is the worry about the longevity of batteries and cost of replacement that causes the depreciation. It would be my concern.
The motor industry needs a shakeup if we are to make inroads into reducing climate change. Not just in producing reliable and long lasting batteries and cars with a good range but they need to stop churning out cars to feed our voracious habits of changing our cars every two to three years.....mainly driven by PCPs. ( I say ours...not necessarily we TMers but the general public!)
Building cars is very energy intensive and a huge waste. Cars should be designed to be upgraded with new and improved battery packs etc.
