    Some will be very very glad they did buy a 2nd hamd ev when there is no fuel at the pumps.

    Thats what listening to the scaremongering press does for you!

    National shortage: Unlikely due to strategic reserves and diversified supply chains.

    Local disruptions: Possible in areas affected by “panic” buying leading to temporary supply delays.

    At present, the UK continues to meet its international oil stockholding obligations, maintaining emergency reserves equivalent to at least 90 days of net imports, and domestic refineries and import channels remain operational, providing resilience against a national shortage. Petrol prices have been rising moderately, driven by higher global crude oil prices and geopolitical instability, rather than a confirmed breakdown in UK fuel supply.

    Spending £thousands on a used EV would not be a wise move, if your only concern was a press orientated perceived fuel shortage. Not only would it have a negative impact, artificially inflating the value of used EV’ you would kicking yourself for throwing money down the drain, your neighbours will laugh at you when they continue to fill their vehicles up with petroleum.
