Any duty or VAT on this Skoda Enyaq in the North?

Can I import a 2024 Skoda Enyaq with 21,000 miles on the clock without paying import duty or VAT? It is a NI registration but was a mobility vehicle in Northern Ireland.

Tesla Model 3 or Xpeng G6 for my first EV?

I'm in the process of buying my first EV and would love some advice.

I have a Tesla Model 3 Premium booked (delivery estimate is three to four months), but I'm also considering the Xpeng G6. I really like the G6's SUV shape, interior quality, tech features and fast charging.

The G6 is quoted at around 470km of range. I mostly drive around Dublin day to day, with eight to ten summer trips around Ireland of about 300-400km.

What I like about the Model 3 is the tech and features like Sentry Mode, the dashcam and the blind-spot camera when indicating.

What I'm unsure about with the G6 is the range and long-term resale value. Tesla has also released lots of new OTA features.

The price difference is €3,000. Your recommendation and view please?

I'm looking to buy a used Audi Q4 e-tron...

I am interested in buying a second-hand Audi Q4 e-tron electric. Can you explain the different versions/styles of this model please? I am looking for one with long-distance range as we often take trips across the country. What kind of battery should I look for? Is this model likely to depreciate quickly?

Skoda Octavia or Elroq?

Hi,

I'm considering the Skoda Octavia 1.5 Sportline MHEV and the Skoda Elroq 85 Sportline. I drive 25km daily to work and back in city traffic and the odd occasional Wexford/Waterford jaunt. I have my own driveway so fitting a charger wouldn't be an issue.

On paper, which of these would suit me better?

Will I buy a used Cupra Born EV in the North?

I've a 2011 Audi A4 diesel and am thinking of changing to an EV. Do mostly town driving but don't want something too small. I'd like to keep my budget to around €20-25k max.

Was looking at a Cupra Born 150kW V1 58kWh in Northern Ireland for £17,400 with 7,449 miles on the clock. Any advice on importing it, battery, warranty etc?

Would I be better buying a new car within price range in the south?
