Hi

I am new to the forum and looking for an NEV to travel around my local area and maybe down to the golf course (if my wife lets me lol).

Any ideas? I live in the UK and notice the market is not as developed as the US. GEMs seem to be the way forward?

Strongly suggest you buy a unit from a local trusted dealer. Most modern NEV’s are comparable in performance and quality. Availability of service. if required, is an important aspect of ownership.
