    One of the reasons we are moving to EV is as follows and may explain why people will move later once the vehicles reach the used car market.

    we have a weekly fuel budget of £30 and we live rurally so need a minimum of 150 miles per week for shopping doctors hospitals etc so this equates to approx 6500 miles per year leaving no mileage for leisure or pleasure. The cost is around £1500 per year, with the EV charged at home for 28 kWh per night at 5 p per kWh it’s £1.40 giving around 65 miles per day that would be around 24000 miles a year for 1/3 rd cost now we would be highly unlikely to do this but if we did even do this sort of mileage we could save £20 per week from our meagre fuel allowance and put it over 5 years toward our next AP that would be £5000 or put another way if we had the credit toward a used PCP so I really think whilst savings can be had there is a way to benefit from this next phase of motoring
