SKODA ELROQ IS A GREAT BUDGET EV BUT ITS BOOTY JUST ISN'T BIG ENOUGH
-
SMALL people in your life? Chances are stress levels are already pretty high. Dealing with potty traininginduced emergency stops, screaming infants and your 150th round of I spy can be a little taxing for the most patient of parents - so, do you need to throw an electric car into the mix? Meet the Elroq, the EV Skoda insists is perfect for families. It's a mid-sized, Ford Focus-sized model with a range of around 265 miles.
WHAT'S NEW?
If you can get past the fact that the name sounds like a Spanish digital radio station, the Elroq is a funkylooking car with clever touches.It sits under the larger - and we'd argue more family-friendly - Enyaq, and offers silent electric driving at a relatively affordable price point starting at £34,450.
WHAT'S UNDER THE BONNET?
Maybe other parents are less stressed, but the thought of planning EV charging stops into a family holiday fills me with dread.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Although I am well aware that social media is largely an echo chamber that will feed back to you what you search for, there are no shortage of videos and articles about fashionable dressing for men, while vintage clothing is no longer merely bagged up and donated to charity shops but can yield high prices on re-sale sites such as eBay and Vinted.
