Could I afford a brand new car? No
Would I have an electric one (either on the scheme or outside of it)? Also no.
Why? I can’t charge the begger!
And that is an issue that a lot of people face. Yes, I wouldn’t mind one to cut down on fuel costs but right now and for the foreseeable, they are just not workable for a lot as the infrastructure is not there and won’t be for some years to come.
