I want an electric car with 250 mile range and a decent boot - what do you recommend?
I currently have an Audi A5 but I’d like an electric car next. I don’t want an SUV, but I do need something with at least the same boot capacity as my A5. It needs to fit a wheelchair plus shopping/ suitcases so at least 475 litres. I’m also looking for something with a minimum real world range of 250 miles per full charge.
I’d be tempted by the Tesla 3, but it’s a saloon not a hatchback - again the wheelchair. I also like the trim quality of the Audi.
Any suggestions?

I would take a look at the Kia EV6. It has the range you need and the boot capacity. Like all Kias, the EV6 also comes with a seven-year warranty.
Kia has come along way in the last decade and nothing shows that better than the EV6 – it's striking looking on the outside and solidly built on the inside. You get loads of tech for your money and a cabin that'll happily fit four adults.
Kia's battery technology leads the field and the EV6 will do at least 300 miles on a charge. It also has plenty of performance and is easy to drive – it's the EV I would buy in your situation.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
Is an electric car right for me?Similar questions
I have a small caravan, 1200kg max. I’m looking at changing my Nissan X-Trail to an all-electric. Would you advise I hang on for a bit or what EV would you recommend for towing it?
We have a 2009 Ford Focus, which is used mostly for short trips. We also have a 2008 Freelander 2 mostly used for longer trips and for towing our caravan up to 250 miles at a time. Both are MoT'd and running...

More practical than Audi A5 Coupe. Impeccable build quality and finish. Good performance and economy.
Striking design inside and out. Plenty of space, quality and technology. All versions have a range over 300 miles. Super fast charging speeds. Enjoyable to drive.
