At present there is a disparity between the cost of Electric and ice cars in purchase price, but that is more than offset by the savings on running and servicing costs. Factor in the cost of polution, the detrimental health effects as well as climate degradation and I believe the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. No doubt the charging infrastructure badly needs addressing even with the option of home charging, but that is improving. We none of us like change. It takes us out of our comfort zone but we owe it to future generations to make the change from ice to ev. We can all do our bit by putting pressure on Motability to give us a adequate choice of ev’s.
Also at present there is no road duty or taxes applied to electric travel.
The government lost 2.5 Billion Pound a month in March and April, so 5 Billion all told, this year due to no one using their cars. This has been a wake up call for the government in how much they lose when everyone gone electric so make the most of those savings as they won’t be around for long as all electric cars will have some sort of GPS road prices by the mile added to running cost over the next decade for sure. ?
