    @mitch If I understand the above figures correctly, 168 miles at a cost of £22 equates to 13p per mile. That, of course, assumes that the car achieves its stated range which, as was pointed out by others, is unlikely, especially in the winter, so that cost per mile will be higher. On that basis, if you have to rely on the public chargers at Dobbies, the Mini is likely to cost you more to run than the ICE cars on your list, whereas it would be cheaper for those who can charge at home. This is why, as pretty much everyone is saying (including EV owners), they only make financial sense if you can charge at home although, of course, running costs is only one consideration.
