From Andrew Till / Mr. EV
.

Do you want a big electric motorway cruiser for your family? The BMW iX and Tesla Model Y “Juniper” are two options, but which to choose? My friend, @JonathanPorterfield was in England with his brand new Model Y so I thought I’d drive up to see him in the BMW iX XDrive40. He suggested we have a game of Top Trumps, which seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up!

We have a charging race on a Sainsbury’s Smart Charge charger while we compare our EVs. Who’s going to win? And can you really pick a car solely on specs anyway?!
