Ironic for a man named EV-atron.
I see the eNY1 offers are coming back again.
@Firegod did you already get your sorted? 0%, £0 down, and 48 months PCP from £259. The also includes 5 years warranty, 5 years servicing, and 5 years free roadside assistance.
Oh and @danlightbulb could it be big enough for you, certainly cheap!

Same on ice
2 guys at work
28k new , 3 years later 12k
Nissan juke and Peugeot 2008.
Really wouldn’t want to be stuck with one for 4 years though. I mean they are ok as a white good with wheels
I'm tempted to get a Megane E-tech 60kw through a work scheme but as someone whos mainly only driven cheap motors for years the idea of £435 a month stings. Although thats including charger, insurance, maintenance etc.

Looks nice but no way 435 lol
I've been trying to justify it by considering what my 13yr old Skoda is costing me. It's approaching 170k miles, air con compressor is broke, due two new tires this year, a service, enough diesel to do 12000+ and insurance and tax costing about 800 a year now.
I've done some basic sums in my head and I reckon it would cost me about £200 a month on average more than my skoda costs.
tv i have no idea but been keeping the sony xperia going long after 2 new charging ports and busted screen
Maybe it's a sign to go green
9ppm. The deals for more miles were more expensive than just paying the excess mileage charge if she does go over.
Based on the current price of fuel my numbers stack up. If you calculated based on the ideal motorway MPG then of course the numbers look different. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get to start her commute at 70mph on the motorway with a perfectly warmed up car, nor does she actually get to sit at a set speed for mile after mile. Like most people, she’s in stop-start sloggy rush hour city traffic and thus the MPG takes a hammering. She does more or less exactly 10k a year in commuting, but does do other mileage beyond that and that’s factored in.
I have the benefit of actually seeing the fuel bills as they show up on my Amex statement every month. I have *years* of data underpinning the calculations and the decision stacks for our use case. Yours might vary. Sorry about that?
Trigger, is that you?
I had this TV for 15 years, it’s only had 3 new control boards and 4 new screen replacements… but it’s still the same TV.
You stated You will avoid buying any EV all your life… then used an argument that equally applies to modern ICE cars as well. Expensive parts.
So why is that an anti EV thing?

Fair enough, you've obviously done your sums.
I was just pointing out that in a similar car with mixed use £250 in fuel a month works out as 21.5k miles a year.
Or to put it another way if you are only doing 10k and spending that much then she has the world's least economical 1.0 TSI Golf at about 22 mpg.
Anyway, I'm sure you just summarised your numbers for the sake of your post as you've clearly done you sums
