Modern quality standards in most things is laughably poo, old Japanese brands from which I'd expect quality (Nissan and the aforementioned Mitsubishi) have been merged into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault%E2%80%93Nissan%E2%80%93Mitsubishi_Alliance post millennium, for me it's downhill from there.
I am no EV fan but I think in some use cases the small ones for pootling about local-ish, which is all a lot of people do then it works for that I guess.
99% of cars regardless of how they're powered all look soulless arse to me, roads are awash with SUVs with all the poise and grace of Mr Blobby. :lol:

my gf has a hybrid golf... in the summer it'll do 24 miles on a charge, 18 in the winter when you run the heater...
but... charger at home and work... so she can go months without putting any petrol in
it's perfect for her (quick too)

sh*tsubishi Grandis failed its MOT spectacularly and is heading to the scrapyard on Thursday, I bought a 2013 Nissan Leaf from someone local for £3,600, it has 8 out of 12 (I think?) battery health bars so range is 50 miles at best. But I do 10 miles a day top, so this is spot on for me. Lovely to drive, comfortable, not missing much from the post-2017 models, but will never pay tax on it. I've also learned its now possible to get range extension packs and battery swaps (aftermarket, Nissan are funny about replacing batteries).
Zappi wall charger getting installed next week.
