It's a fairly tough choice even though there are not a vast number of EV's to choose from.

The tipping point for me was the Tesla charging infrastructure which is nationwide (and Euro wide) - super fast and very easy. The other networks are clunky to say the least - unreliable, expensive and slow. And that sets aside the multiple apps, RFID cards, accounts etc.

The general view is that if you generally do short journeys then the Polestar is a good choice - interior and exterior styling. Longer runs would probably favour the Tesla with it's long range and charging network.

I actually like the minimalist interior of the Tesla, it is unashamedly an electric vehicle and not trying to be like a traditional car. Like all EV's it's buttons to run - around 3p a mile in mine with Porsche performance. My Range Rover is around 35p a mile and drives like a medieval siege engine in comparison.
