i am not buying an EV to save the planet. in fact love the smell of burning petrol and get withdrawals if i don't hear the sound of V10s (and V8s). but over the last few years EV has grown on me so much that I might pass on the M3 Touring to get an EV. reasons -

- dinosaur juice is so expensive
- when i turn on the EV i have instant heating when it's 0 outside
- when i press the pedal it gives me instant power (i live on hilly terrain, it's so good)
- no engine and transmission to blow up, or even to maintain. at all. yet the powertrain in 2 years of R&D is superior to 200 years of R&D already.

cons
- no "sound" - sometimes it is a good thing but sometimes i want to hear a V10
- heavy - but interestingly doesn't affect driving dynamics much unless you're at the limit then ICE will give more Gs
- slow to "fill up"
