Yeah, we bought first EV and when nobody wanted to drive the other, ICE, car we bought the second one 🙂It's not just faster, more comfortable and more reliable car but charging home instead of gas station is game changer.

I think the only area where ICE makes sense in context of personal vehicles are sport cars and even that area is getting covered by EVs like Hyundai IONIQ 5 N, performance versions of Teslas and the best for the end .. this little guy:

Renault 5 Turbo 3E – Renault

Duch R5 Turbo se v roce 2024 vrací. Nový R5 Turbo 3E je inspirovaný modelem z roku 1980 a má 100% elektrický pohon. Buďte v obraze.

@bycx it is possible that I will not want to drive a diesel BMW 525d we have for long distances. But at the moment I don't see an affordable replacement. Alternatives are around 1.2M CZK which is just too much for a car that drives 10k km a year. One of the reasons why I finally decided for an EV is that the prices of used Q4 e-trons dropped to levels where it finally makes sense for us even from the economical perspective.

@ondra yes, for 1/2 year we will drive for 20 CZK/100 km (lost opportunity costs, we currently sell to the grid for 1.25 CZK/kWh). The current car costs 300 CZK/100 km, not counting oil, repairs etc.
We're getting a used Audi Q4 e-tron 35. It only has 55kWh battery which gives it a 300km range. Not much, but more than enough for a city car. We rarely drive more than 30km with the current car. You can get it from Germany for prices starting at 550k CZK which is a price I'm comfortable paying for a city car.
But the choice was my wife's. She will drive it primarily and she's always liked the model.
