A couple of things to note: The home charger is free for a standard installation. That means that the fuse board has a spare fuse they can use, the cable can run simply to where the charger needs to be and the install of the charger is against a wall. Anything other than that or further away than the distance they call standard (sorry, I don’t know that definition) then there will be a cost for the install varying from a few quid for a couple of metres of cable to thousands to dig a trench and build a structure for the charger.
The bill will simply be a bigger electricity bill. Depending on how good the standard information is from your supplier, you may be able to identify what was charging costs and what wasn’t.
The Megane is a great little car. If you’re looking for a medium hatchback type thing then it’s ideal. A great drive and the Google software makes everything simple to use and much more reliable than others. Renault did well to get a software company to do that bit as it’s where most problems lay.
As said, you need to test drive one and not for 20 minutes with the salesman bending your ear all the way. If you can, negotiate getting one for at least a couple of hours. Take it around town, around your local roads and see how it feels. It’s a different style of driving, the regenerative braking needs a little getting used to but, once you’re there, you really do appreciate it. It will feel a much smoother ride, much, much quieter both of which give you a false sense of security, you need to get used to that before picking up on rattles and odd noises which may be symptomatic of something you need to talk to the salesman about.
As someone on his 2nd EV, once you’ve been bitten, it’s incredibly disappointing to get in an petrol or diesel car again.
