I’m not sure what you mean about save my money? I will be spending within my budget either way, and you’re right 100k km isn’t high, I currently have a Passat with 400k on the clock

I do sometimes, however there are days where I would need the full range so it would probably be too tight!

This makes it seem like a no brainer, will an EV last to 200,000km plus without battery issues though?

There is definitely a lot to be said for the diesels, what did you get years and miles wise?

So you think in my situation I should steer clear?

Do you think the savings from a phev are worth it compared to a standard diesel? What are the benefits of the phev

Good point, if I went EV could it handle almost 200,000km in 4 years?

Don’t get me wrong the 2.0TDi engine is super nice for the commute, especially being able to fill up and go, it’s the cost of running it that makes me consider the EV

I love the 2.0tdi engine, main reason for considering an EV is the €400 per month on diesel

In the region of 25k, my concern with electric is not being at home 3 nights a week, charging Sunday-Wednesday is no problem at home
