Wisely Automotive

Two cars that were designed from the ground up to be really good at one thing. Magic.

Did you know that a BMW i3 is less than 200kg heavier than an Alpine A110? 1,270kg in total. My 2016 car is well over 100,000 miles now and I swear is more efficient than when we bought it at 40,000. It has an impressive 4.7-5 kWh/mile which is better than almost all new EVs. Despite its range of 140 miles, it is by far the most popular car during the working week. If a drive is over 70 miles each way, I take a wagon or the SL and enjoy that. Giving the old cars a regular long run and not feeling guilty about the expense because of how cheap the rest of the week’s drives are. I don’t want a massive, heavy, inefficient battery car with a huge range. Every day I thank my lucky stars that my other half is a car addict too and that we can afford the luxury of this ‘solution’. However, if you would like a silly/old car and a very efficient daily you should consider an i3. Anyway, that’s my two-pence on #WorldEVDay I like EVs because it means I can justify a V8 (or two).
