A PCP or lease deal might be a better way of owning one as it allows you to get the newer model at the end of the term.
Yep, for many people (probably even most) this makes a great deal of sense. I could never get into it though as it then requires that you have to keep your job because there's always next month's payment to be found (equally applies to credit cards, mortgages, etc). I was always keen to be able to maintain a sense of independence from work, I needed to be able to 'speak truth to power' as it were without the fear of being fired.
The motor industry needs people to keep buying new cars, holding on to the for years doesn't work for them.
Yes, but that's a 'them' problem, not a 'me' problem
There's so many scare stories out there about EV's, it's relatively new tech in it's current form, I'm sure in a few years things will settle down or there'll be a new way of powering vehicles by then.
Yep. There are probably some great bargains in used EVs to be had right now that won't be around in a couple of years when the myths have been busted.
Some neighbours of ours picked up a dirt cheap (£2k) Nissan Leaf earlier this year, the seller admitted that its range was down to 35 miles or so. Suits them perfectly for a 10 mile commute to work. Costs about 30p a day to charge up overnight.
