I agree there will be a time when I buy an EV and it makes sense to do so, but that’s not now for me. I am semi retired, do 7-8000 mile a year with half of that being 250-400 mile round trips. I do not like any kind of hassle, queuing or hunting for charging scenarios.
My X1 U11 diesel averages 60mpg (750+ miles a tank) and costs significantly less to to buy than a mild hybrid or full e car so buying one does not stack up.
As an counterpoint to the title of the thread if you google “BMW continues to develop ICE” you will see they are still working on making these engines even more fuel efficient and clean, I still plan to buy another diesel before the end of the decade and have no doubt it will be even better than the current crop. 100+ years of development mean these engines are now at their pinnacle, rather that than the early years of electrification.
If things look totally different in ten years time when i’m in my mid 60s then I’ll reconsider an ICE.
