That was the last oil leak. I'm tired of having a combustion engine car as a city car and I'm getting an electronic one. After discovering yet another problem with the car today, I went from "we'll get an EV in the distant future" to booking a car inspection.
@sesivany It will make a great tandem with your solar... Which EV do you have in mind?
@ondra yes, for 1/2 year we will drive for 20 CZK/100 km (lost opportunity costs, we currently sell to the grid for 1.25 CZK/kWh). The current car costs 300 CZK/100 km, not counting oil, repairs etc.
We're getting a used Audi Q4 e-tron 35. It only has 55kWh battery which gives it a 300km range. Not much, but more than enough for a city car. We rarely drive more than 30km with the current car. You can get it from Germany for prices starting at 550k CZK which is a price I'm comfortable paying for a city car.
But the choice was my wife's. She will drive it primarily and she's always liked the model.
@sesivany It's quite a tank for city driving but I'm sure she will love it. :)
@ondra Yeah, that was my objection, too. I'd rather pick something like BMW i3. But it's her who will have to deal with it primarily and if she likes it... For me, the price is finally acceptable and I hope to have much fewer problems with maintenance.
