We need to remove the VAT cost differential between public chargers 20% and domestic 5%. Its discriminatory to those with not ability to install chargers at home - which may tend to be lower earners.

Interest free loans from gov't are available in some areas so you don't have to find the capital. Or some installers do a "pay monthly" option, albeit with an interest charge, so costs you a bit. Wrong thread, obv! EV, saving is (depending on what baseline figs you use!) £200 pa per 1,000 miles. If you do high mileage like me, that's £3000 for 15,000 miles per year. Adds up pretty quickly as a saving. So I am prepared to use my savings, or take out a low cost personal loan, to fund the extra up front cost. G I would only save £900 a year if I could home charge exclusively as my Mondeo is good on diesel, I am tempted by lease as I do want to move to an EV but atm, the extra monthly outlay and lack of anything to show for it at the end is a no go. As such, until second hand prices are low enough (6ish year old vehicles as that would be my market in ICE too) , I'm probably out of the market. |
