The crossover point shows EV owners get an average of 5 months of free driving
Electric Car Day is earlier this year than last thanks to lower energy prices

Going by their figure of an EV driver spending £680 for 7400 miles my crossover point must have been last year!, my annual spend (based on 6 months of actual use) for 2647 miles is £84, 6 months @ £14
To drive the 7400 miles they suggest that would take me 16 months and cost me around £224
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!

That works out roughly 10p mile ?
My Enyaq currently (no pun intended!) says 3.5 miles per kWh, so at 7p/kWh that’s 2p per mile or 36 miles for 72p vs £6.58 for a gallon of petrol 🙂

My point, is these articles are nothing short of pointless. They are always based during summer quarter, which happens to be the cheapes’t rate and based on charging from home. You don’t have to be genius to know, if your able to charge at home and your journey’s are always in the range of your vehicle, it is going to be cheaper than running a fossil car.

And because Im able to tick all of those boxes I took a leap of faith and got an EV
If I didnt have home charging ( thats my main box imo to tick) then I would not have even considered an EV at this point in time
As it worked out like many others on here the only thing I have ever had to pay for is fuel so I thought why not spend a hell of a lot less.
Im lucky and very thankful that I am as ideal an EV candidate as you can get
But .Gov is in cuckoo land thinking EVs will work for everyone
Public charging imo needs to be no more than 35p across the board otherwise .Gov targets are for the birds
