Fenners, I've prob got this totally wrong but didn't you used to work for BMW or Renault or someone? Apologies if I've completely mistaken that.

So I gave the Google stat that ave 2nd hand car purchase (ie not company cars) is £18K. So on ave that's what people are spending. £18K gets one a very nice EV.

Anyway, think I'll stop cos I'm obviously causing upset. Never my intention as you all know.

And completely agree the big advantage of being able to charge at home. So that needs solving so that people in homes without off st parking can get that benefit too. :-) G

The monthly lease prices for ICE vs EV aren't massively different are they? And offset by lower fuel costs. I appreciate that this still doesn't (yet) satisfy the 10-year-old-banger market which is where I always used to sit be before we splashed out last year. Until last year I'd never spent more than 5k on a motor (mostly more like 1-1.5k), and that probably doesn't give many options for a decent EV. But there's still a lot of people for who an EV is a very realistic choice.

Got something to say?
