I currently drive a Nissan Qashqai ePower. In summer I can get around 700+mi per tank of petrol. In winter I get around 500+mi per tank,
The ePower uses a 1.5 petrol generator for purely charging the 2.3kwh battery and generating electric for the electric drive motor and other electronics.
A Skoda Enyaq 85 SE L is great value at £749. It’s bigger than the QQ inside, and it’s always going to be cheaper to run than petrol.
I did a rough cost analysis, as I’m moving to an EV, even more so with the Middle East blowing up.
for the 7600mi I did. It would have cost me around £160 in electric and cost around £1000 in petrol.
So that’s around a £800 saving with an EV.
EV cost 7.5p per unit for 6 hours. Average 3.5 mi/kwh.
Petrol cost £1.25 p/l and an average of 45 mpg.
I have ASD and thus have difficulty with social and understanding information, written and verbal. I process information in logical blocks, before I reply. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong.
I also have a corneal visual condition, which makes me visually impaired without daytime, or daytime bulbs, among other disabilities/conditions.
