Even if you hate the thought of an EV. Even if you are the biggest petrol head out there. Even if you don’t believe in global warming. You can’t help to be impressed by the cost savings above. Want an EV but can’t charge at home, check out your local free tesco, asda etc chargers, contact your local council and ask about getting chargers in your street, the government has a fund to help councils fit them. Cheap EV driving will only last for another few years before pay per driven mile comes in MAKE THE MOST OF IT and if you can, go EV.
I am and always have been a real petrol head. Had various cars from big engine V6/8/10 to smaller tuned affairs. Love the sound they make. Love the feel of driving them. In fact, I’m such a petrol head I bought a petrol mower for our small lawn, a petrol hedge trimmer, I even tried to convince my wife once that we needed a petrol power washer! I love the smell of it, the noise they make, everything!
Therefore, you can imagine my wife’s confusion when I suggested the ID3. It’s completely changed my mindset. It’s a brilliant car, yes the range displayed is a bit of a guessometer, but I never drove my ICE vehicle with the range showing constantly as that was never correct. I don’t have a home charger, but I can slow charge free locally or rapid charge at Lidl/Tesco for just 25p/kwh. That’s only 5p more than my home rate, and even if did have a home charger it would only be a 7kw one. I can plug in at Lidl once a week, do some shopping, charge the car for about £7 and I’m set for the week. I would previously have spent around £30 a week in the ICE car.
BEV really works well for us, and I don’t want to go back.
