Buying the Best Electric Vehicle - for your needs

Thanks to @phb there is now one more to take note of.

$44k on road for the cheapest version.

The all petrol alternative MG ZS Excite is half that price.

Of course one needs petrol, the other doesn’t. One leaves a trail of CO2 etc to mark its path. The other moves silently, powered by your choice of clean and green. One is immune to the risks of imported petroleum products. The other risks needing a large solar PV on the roof to help with charging.

One is very not MG like powered by a 1litre 3 cylinder turbo. The other has no turbo, and no guilt.

As @phb comments one goes further on a tank of fuel than the other on a full charge. It depends on what one values and what one can afford. My personal EV was under $2k and folds easily to carry onto the train. Neither of the MG options are that flexible, or as cheap to own and run.
