Thanks for the post Envy.
It's a really interesting topic.
Electric cars are brilliant, they are great to drive. The E-tron is fantastic and for you miles profile it would be perfect.
Apart from the range and Audi not giving you enough information, pre purchase the other main issue if the public charing points.
I charge at home with a 7kw charging point, its takes 8-10hrs to fully charge.
The key issue is the public charging points, the only public points that are of any value are the 'superchargers' that charge within 45-50 mins. When you first look at a map of all the charging points around the UK you think you are going to be covered but most are the 7kw points that they call 'Rapid" which is the opposite of what they are. There are not enough supercharging points in the UK currently.
If I had my time over again, I would have looked at things differently which is a shame, I am sure the infrastructure will catch-up but until then I would think again.
That said if your family already has a family car and you need a second car for shorter daily commutes, then electric is the perfect solution.
