Oh go on, the Peugeot e2008 Allure at £1,999.
Now you’ll wonder how I figure out that it represents any value, but that comes from charging the thing at home overnight at an equivalent of under 2 pence per mile, and doing sufficient miles to make it worthwhile compared to running a fossil.
20,000 miles @ 2p per mile = £400, do this for the 3 years and that’s £1200
compare this to a fairly efficient diesel running at 12p per mile (50mpg average)
20,000 @ 12p per mile = £2,400, do this for the 3 years and that’s £7,200
This is of course an extreme, but at what point do you discover that the fossil cars are an expensive luxury if you do more than a few miles?
