Oh price parity will be reached, its easy, EV prices remain the same-ish and non-EV’s rise to meet them, £25k for a Fiesta, its happening already.
EVs have only recently shot up in price my Soul was around £28k after the grant in 2021, the new model, which is identical except for the removal of a few pricey extras like the heat pump, is £39k, an 11k jump in 12 months. Even with better residuals that would probably mean a £5k AP instead of the £1k I paid.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
