I’m not a recent convert from ICE to EV, I got my first in 2014, second in 2017 then my third this year (extended the second lease cause could see anything I liked) and will definitely stay EV for my next car.
I’m fortunate enough to be working and could afford to pay some of the ridiculously high APs being asked for any car on the scheme if I wanted to but…. I’m too tight to waste money like that, I haven’t seen anything that makes me want to spend thousands on a car, driving an EV is a much nicer experience than an ICE, I like to know that if/when this world implodes due to peoples selfishness and stupidity I at least done my bit and tried to do the right thing, and most importantly the money I’m saving on fossil fuel is funding other hobbies that give me more pleasure ?
The change is very easy… IF you can charge at home, only ever charge at home and only drive within the range of your car so you are home every night ? then you’d be nuts to stick with an ICE
It gets a bit more complicated if you wish to travel longer distances and charge away from home, then you need to put more effort into it by planning in advance your charging stops. Once you’re used to it it all becomes second nature and now feels completely normal to me doing 20k a year.
