I have lost count of the number of times some diesel diehard has responded to me on social media, usually with the certainty of a man explaining interest rates on a barstool, with an emphatic declaration that he will “never drive an EV until it can do 800km and charge as fast as a diesel”. Pointing out that almost nobody actually drives 800km without stopping is dismissed.
Fast-forward to today, and the good news is that BMW has finally produced a car with the heroic, bladder-defying motorway warrior in mind: the new iX3.
