In 2016 the Current Consort and I bought a two-year-old electric car that had 25,000km on the clock. It cost us €16,000 after trading in a worthless diesel jalopy.
I’ve got car envy. I blame my parents. They went off on holidays and left their 231-reg car parked at the farm. I had no designs on using it much, but by the time they returned, handing back the car left me feeling morose.
Subaru has a long history of making strong cars for the rural market, and after a quiet few years, they have brought the Solterra electric SUV to the market.
I have driven the majority of EVs on the market in Ireland over the last seven years and until now, none of them really fulfilled the needs of the rural/farming motorist.
