We have a Tesla model Y

Easily fits 2 adults in the back, 3 is even ok as long as they are not huge people (as floor is flat all the way across due to no exhaust!)

we only spend about 20% on electricity vs what we did on petrol before

We have a Polestar 4 coupé You can essily fit 2, probably 3 in the back (haven't tried 3 yet). I would have chosen the SUV version if it had been available at the time as I am not a fan of the rear view camera and lack of rear window. Otherwise, it is fabulous.

DH has a Skoda Elroq and I have a VWID3. We love them both and they both have plenty of room in the back.

Why the need to trade it in? Genuinely interested as I have a petrol Skoda fabia and I was hoping to keep it until it starts to cost me money. It’s 2019 reg. That said my petrol was £50 odd a tank when I bought it in 2024. Now it is £70 almost

My next car will be electric I think. I ve been doing a bit of research and like the look of the kia ev3. I know someone with a BYD dolphin who loves it and someone with a vw id4 who loves it. Someone at work also said to look at Geely, apparently their parent company is Volvo??

The skoda elroq and epiq also look nice. I need to see all of these in the flesh and look at boot sizes I think.
