Hi all, first time poster and looking for some ideas / help.
My partner and I just found out we are expecting twins which was unexpected and it a bit daunting! I already have two kids (one 5 and in a high backed booster, one 10 no longer in a carseat). We also have a medium-large dog.
I am due to change my company car at roughly the time the twins are due early next year, so have started thinking about what might suit us. As it's a company car, I am limited to EV's only. I cannot choose an ICE or hybrid.
Is anyone else in a similar situation? What do you have and how do you find it?
It looks like we will need to compromise somewhere as without getting an electric van (which are generally expensive, poor on range and not great to drive/look at) it doesn't look like there is anything out there that is big enough to fit us all, plus have space for a double buggy and the dog.
The easy compromise is the dog - if we want to go out as a full family to walk him we can take our second car as those journeys are likely to be pretty local.
Where we cant compromise is boot space as we need to be able to fit a doubly pram, whilst having 4 kids plus 2 adults in the car.
We have started to looked at things like the Kia EV9, VW Buzz, Peugeot e-5008. At face value they all look like they may be able to do the job but it would be good to hear some any other large families with EV's. We will be borrowing a pram to take to test any cars that make the shortlist.
Thanks all :)
P.s. Unless there really are no viable options then buying our own car doesn't make sense due to the tax advantages on a company provided EV. Plus, I would need a fairly large deposit that I dont have as we just move house.
