Question - anyone here have one of those “most popular” VWs? The article says they’re called id.3 id.5 and id.7. I’ve ridden in an e-Golf (California compliance car basically), but not the newer ones. The e-Golf did not impress, so I’m curious if the new ones are any good; range, noise, fit and finish, basically.

Not sure which of the three, but afriend bought one new here in the UK for around £22k - which at the time the dealer assured him he could sell back to them at £15-18k a year later.

He needed the car to tide him over to a work based EV scheme.

A year later the dealer said he'd be lucky to get £8kfor private sale and that the dealership didn't want the car as had 5 on forecourt already.

He's kept the car and loved it, but 2nd hand EV prices here can be great (or bad if you are a seller) - I saw a 10year old Nissan Note EV for £1K the other day - if I already had a charger I would have snapped it up, even if the range was less than 50 miles now.
