I am a forty-something IT consultant living in Belgium. With local tax laws becoming less in favor of classic combustion engines, it is important to keep an open mind for new technologies. Finally the choice for a electical vehicle seemed like the most logical option as the network of public charging stations has finally transcended the start-up phase.
With Tesla still being the leader in innovation and having the worldwide supercharger network, the model 3 seemed like the safest choice.
The high purchase price is luckily compensated by low exploitation costs and the advantegeous tax regime.
