Not sure. the Jaguar I pace allegedly really cracks 200 miles and a
couple of others.

My jaguar XF is supposed to do 50mpg. Its hard to get it over 35. The
moment you hit the brakes - that's it. It's a heavy car to get up to
speed, again.


The fact that people have suddenly become as evangelical about electric
vehicles as vegans is enough to ensure I don't waste a second of my life
considering them.

Indeed. Once people start touting *emotional* reasons (an oxymoron
really) then I do wonder. Emotions are fair enough - I *like* driving my
car, and that counts - BUT I don't claim that as a rational response to
car buying.

T i m and chums always present *emotional* narratives as *rational*.

Hitler used to do that, too.
