LeapMotor C10 BEV as a family car – does it work.

LeapMotor C10 – Could an EV actually work for a family? – I’ve been spending some time with the Leapmotor C10 and, honestly, it’s more practical than I expected.

There’s plenty of room in the back for a child seat, and the boot space is big enough for prams, shopping and all the extra gear that comes with family life.

The tech is impressive and easy to use, but there are a couple of things I’d need to get used to.

The keyless entry system, where you tap the mirror to lock and unlock the car, can be a little awkward when you’re carrying a child, a bag and trying to get everyone organised.

And charging definitely takes more planning than a quick stop at the servo.

However, the C10 will go around 400km on a charge, so that’s probably enough for most people for a week.

One major issue for me though is that there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity. I use that everyday as its convenient and safe. It feels like a big step backwards without having it and that means a big no from me.

So, while I’m starting to see the appeal of EVs for families, I’m still not completely convinced they’re the right fit for everyone.

Maybe I just need more time with one.

What do you think—could you make the switch?”*
