It fits the brief then ?. After you've had it a while please post about it. I'm interested to hear real life experiences with it. Particularly, how far will it actually go on pure electric. I don't believe the guff, same as with all mpg figures.Superb
I want the biggest vehicle I can get

I've posted the link to the service before but I think this will become a popular thing soon for fixed priced motoring and electric roll out.
Just under £400 a month for a Renault Zoe.. including insurance. Maintenance.. servicing . Tyres the works and 1000 miles worth of free charge on street
Now the older generation won't see benefits of the insurance bits but for example im 33 and My cheapest insurance to date been around £450.. before that £1000,800,700 and so on.. I don't think I'll ever get to the stage My parents are in of £200.. our generation will be locked out of them
So it will appeal to younger people more. And with no deposit it is better for the young aswell who struggle with deposits
Not for everyone ofc .. feel I need to add this to every comment these days ...
But like some have said you can swap out for a longer range one if needed

Bit of a record seen this morning... Of the twenty or so charging places at our Aldi EIGHT were being used in the manner intended... Generally, at best, it's usually only a couple I've seen hooked up...

Your Aldi has 20 charging points? Where is that please?

I reside in Ruislip... Next door [to Aldi], in the entertainment 'complex'/Asda, there are probably as many as 100 charging points...

My father in law (can't remember if I posted) just accepted a job back in his old field (maintaining and fitting petrol pumps) but anyways now part of his work is to install electric car charge stations at forecourts

That is way these things go. Then they reach a tipping point and it goes crazy. The availability of chargers plays off against the range too.

We got a new Lidl in Hampton and it has quite a few as well. Those Germans, what are they like? ;-)
(They probably just rent the space to electric charging companies)
