I'm in a similar position. I'm looking to replace my GT86 with a Giulia QV but the family E-Pace will get replace next year and it makes sense to go electric. I need something as big, or ideally larger than the Jag. EVs work as they can be more accommodating without being larger in size. So far, I think the Mach-E is OK, but can't quite see me wanting to buy one (or indeed the wife, who's car it would "be") and the only cars that seem to fit the "not too expensive or too small" categories are:
- VW ID4
- Nissan Ariya

And that's about it at the moment, or any others that appear on the horizon, so it may well end up being a PHEV as there's way more options and for most part you get the daily running costs - not sure how many PHEVs you get there though. I think it's daft that the Model 3 isn't a proper hatch, which is a let down for a family car, perhaps as it would take sales from the Model S. Plus I echo the sentiments that I just feel uninspired despite their lead in the tech field. I'd quite like a Taycan or the new E-Tron GT and hopefully they depreciate enough that they are withing budget quite quickly.
