·When I first put down my deposit on an I-Pace, my highest 'range expectation' amounted to being able to drive it (on occasions), from my home, NW of London, to Paris (a distance of around 550km), expecting only to make a one or two 'natural' charge stops en route. Already a number of forum members are making that look like child's play, knocking it out of the park with journeys approaching 1000km.
Despite gaining confidence in the I-Pace's capabilities, I believe our household will continue to maintain a foothold in the ICE world for the foreseeable future.
But what kind of a foothold should that be? Do I hanker after a past classic? Or will I look for cross-continent-capable long-distance grand tourer? Maybe my wife will demand a small and nimble two-seater sports convertible? Or a fully capable Range Rover 4x4 (or equivalent Land Cruiser)?
I wonder what other forum members thoughts are…
Maybe you even plan for the second car to be another electric? A small car like the BMW i3, that is likely to be easier to park and maneuver through narrow city streets (or torturous underground car-parks), or even the Tesla Model S, which, with its supercharger network access, you may consider does offer all the continent-crossing capability you'll ever need, even if it might not always be your 'ride of choice'.
So, I thought I would pose the question as a survey…
