What electric vehicle should I buy for £60,000?

I drive a Tesla Model 3 Long Range and am looking for an electric vehicle for retirement. I am seeking good quality build, comfortable seats and a decent range (300-plus miles). The boot (preferably hatchback) needs to be big enough for golf clubs and trolley. My budget is £60,000. What can you recommend?

I'd be tempted to tell you to stick with your Tesla because of its excellent powertrain and access to the Supercharger network.

On your budget, there aren't many EVs that fit your needs but the car I would recommend is the BMW i4 which has a range of nearly 375 miles. You'll find the BMW's interior takes a big step in quality next to your Tesla and it's also more engaging to drive. That said, it isn't quick unless you got for the M50 model which has a 320-mile range and costs a little over £60,000. The BMW's fastback style boot lid should make it easy to load your clubs.
