You don't have to operate everything via the touch screen, the voice actuated system allows you to operate most thing without ever taking your eyes off the road. Press the button on the steering and say "I'm too hot/too cold", "Set the climate control to 21°, "Navigate to Perth centre", "Turn on the wipers", "Open the charge flap", Open the glove box" etc etc etc.

While generally a good overall review regarding contents, you did not devote any time to the long list of voice commands that negate the need to use the touch screen. You concentrated on how much one needs to use the screen to do everything but in reality, using voice commands eliminates much of the need for screen use while driving and increases safety as well.

We had the wall charger installed at home, the electrician charged $300 and it took him a few hours. Charging from 20% to full is roughly 4-5hrs, so an overnight charge is always more than enough, and we’ve never needed to charge away from home. For short urban journeys, it really isn’t any compromise at all.

Good review. But you left out something crucially important! INSURANCE! Haven’t seen a single review yet that’s mentioned it and is extremely important when considering it’s purchase, for me a deal breaker! Anywhere from $2,500 to a comical $9,000 a year, if you’re lucky enough to even find someone who’ll insure it at all! You can be forgiven for getting lost in the nuts n bolts of the car, but this is important ESPECIALLY if ‘reduced costs’ is one of the main reasons for buying this car. What you gain in fuel and servicing is GONE in this cost! There are VERY few specialist EV repairers around, parts are hard to get and take forever to arrive and the car may need to be toed a LONG way to a repairer for that reason: hence the exorbitant insurance. Sorry, deal breaker for me, Mercedes AMG it is for me.

Cost,range and charging time are the barriers for me switching to BEV at present however I am interested in the fuel cell vehicles.

The biggest benefit I like with fuel cell vehicles is the time refuelling takes,much like an internal combustion engine vehicle.

Fuel cells are so inefficient of energy they are more expensive to run than ICE, they are being pushed by oil and trad-car manufactures (Toyota only really now) as it maintains the status quo as 97% of hydrogen comes from oil. Second problem with fueling with hydrogen is that everything gets really cold, so there has to be a 20 minute wait between each car fueling so that the delivery system at the fuel station warms back up again. Funny how they never tell you that one. Like other said, why do you need such range, you must have a bladder the size of a bucket. Remember (1), you leave home every day with a full tank of fuel from charging at home, so except for road trips you never charge away from home. (2) When you charge at a supercharger you do it in "parallel", you go for pee and coffee while you charge - and it will be charged by the time you get back, so this is quicker than an ICE car as you have to fuel THEN go for a pee and coffee. The biggest change is that you top up at home - where it is cheap, and you always have a fueled up car every day.
