My £62k electric car that takes nine hours to drive up North

Dear Katie,
Last year I decided it was time to get an electric car, so I traded in my BMW X5 diesel for a BMW iX3.
I wish I hadn’t. The battery is supposed to have a range of 285 miles but it performs so poorly on occasions that it is only able to show a maximum range of 145 miles.
We live down south and have family in the north of England, but the car won’t get us there in one stop. It took us nine hours each way over Christmas. We have three children and it was a nightmare. The car cost £62,000 and I really expected better. We also have a Peugeot electric car, which was less than half of what the iX3 cost. It performs brilliantly.
