Thank you so much for such a detailed, well thought out, well written, and comprehensive guide to the world of BEV’s. Of course, the other contributors have all added something valuable, but the initial posts are excellent. In part, along with the financial aspect of ev driving, your posts have convinced me that going electric is the correct choice for me. I read that you’re struggling with health and I wish you fortitude to endure, but know this. Your posts have given me, in part at least, the joy of researching, evaluating, and experiencing BEV’s which have resulted in me ordering one. Your enthusiasm and time is very much appreciated, thank you from a Welshman in Scotland!
My contribution to this excellent thread? If my calculations are correct (and I’ve done them many times now!), the cost of fuelling my car will go from the approx £7000 petrol bill over the last 40k miles to around £1200 in increased electric bill costs. My £1000 home charger has been installed free of charge, my OVO account has been linked with my Ohme app, all really easy to do from your chair. And the driving experience? I’ve always been a petrol head, always in a hot hatch of ever increasing power until health dictated otherwise, and I think the electric driving experience is as good as I’ve ever had. That’ll vary car to car of course, but I’m very happy to recommend anyone to go and try out a Renault Megane E Tech. 220hp, instant power, comfy, well specced, easy to get in and out of. Simply lovely ?.
