Having owned an EV and tested a few, I'd say they aren't significantly smoother or quieter than my Superb. Also not found one, even at 50k, that's anything like as nice to be in or have such a nice feel to it.
I can't get a smart meter as we are polyphase. Therefore no access to EV tariffs. Therefore no cheaper to run.
Quicker off the mark to about 40, after that, not so much, unless it's in the Tesla league.
Add in my pattern of driving, and all the horrors of public charging that would be necessary, and pure EV doesn't work for me at all.
So, Evs, great for many people, not at all interesting to those of us in my circs.
However, the Superb is a Phev, so for 30 to 40 miles it's all good stuff, even if costs the same as petrol
