Which PHEV or EV to replace my Skoda Octavia?

I'm currently driving a diesel Skoda Octavia (192). I keep a set of golf clubs and an electric trolley in the boot. I'm interested in changing to either a plug-in hybrid or full electric car with similar boot capacity. I'm prepared to stretch to €45,000 euro. What cars should I be considering?

Volvo EX90 or Kia EV9?

Hi,

About to pay a deposit on a 251 Volvo EX90 and I was in two minds versus the Kia EV9.

I've asked the salesman about the Google software issue which seems to be the only issue in reading online.

We want/need an electric seven-seater as we will buy through my husband's company if the most tax-efficient way.

Currently driving a 2.0-litre, seven-seat Discovery HSE and while I love it, the repayments are too high.

Really need opinion on whether we should be go for it - offer seems too good to be trusted, but Volvo seems to be selling off its 2025 demos so husband isn't worried - it's reduced by €30,000.

2. What about the Mobilo Road Assistance? Is it really free of charge?
