The fly in the ointment as ever is this:
"Relatively affordable EVs at around the £35,000 mark"
Where we live, very few people have the means to consider a "relatively affordable £35k". This is typical Autocar Cityboy thinking.
And finance with growing inflation, job insecurities and so on isn't likely to change this anytime soon. So the e-vision will face a cost ceiling, which only time will show what the eventual numbers will be.
Absolutely. Apart from the Mog, in the last 10 years I've bought three cars, £500 (Fiesta), £1800 (Hyundai Coupe) and £900. (Corsa). My Mrs has bought two in the same period £2000 (Astra Diesel) and £4000 (Hyundai i30 Diesel) - she was doing about 25K miles a year before WFH and tends to get 200K out of a car before she gets rid. Reckon I'll get another year out of the Corsa, and the Mrs is doing less than 100m a week now so will get another couple of years out the Hyundai (it's on 180,000m)
So, five cars in 10 years, total cost £9.200, so a little short of the quoted 'affordable' £35,000 mark over in cloud cuckoo land

Edit: And if you include the Mog - 6 cars, total cost £26,199
