[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this. SERIOUSLY considering our first EV. We weren't thinking electric -- we drove and liked the SQ5, S5, and Macan.

Then we went to BMW and drove the i4 M50. What a joy. Fast and smooth. DH has driven Teslas and the EV6, and likes the BMW better. Really nearby solid dealer with service loaners, too.

Installing a level 2 charger may be a pain, but it's in the same price range as the others and we'll save on gas and oil changes, which will reduce the cost of the charger install.

Our other car is a minivan, so we don't need space. This car will be for daily commutes and the occasion weekend jaunt. Backseat will be rarely used. Kids are out of rear-facing carseats.

This will be our first car purchase in 20 years where we didn't get a very hefty discount. It's tough to swallow, but at least we can build out the car we want, which we've never done.

I saw one person on this forum who's bought an i4 M50. If that person or others have any thoughts, I'd appreciate them!

I would encourage you to carefully run the numbers in terms of the assumed cost savings for an EV, particularly after factoring in the premium+mark-up for an EV and cost of installing a 240v charger. Your “break even” may be much farther down the road than you think. And can you realistically live with the EV range for longer trips? [/quote]
