EV general discussion

So, my wife's car is turning into a pain in the arse, she has a MK1 Peugeot 3008 1.6 HDi, it's a bag of issues & I know I shouldn't have bought French but when it's working it's a nice enough run about.

In the last few weeks we've started to have DPF issues & noticed the AC has packed in (It packed in last year & a local place replaced part of the loom for £80 & it started working again). I went under it earlier & it looks like the Eolysis tank has **** itself & deposited it's contents all-over the underside of the car & & it seems to eat ball joints for fun.

Given she chucks £120 - £150 in the thing fuel wise i'm noticing some stuff online saying we can lease a brand new Vauxhall Frontera EV for about the same as what the 3008 costs in Diesel, we have a solar array & a battery at home so this seems too good to be true, any thoughts?
 
There are a few decent EV lease deals around at the moment - can't speak to whether there are any caveats or things to look out for though - so worth looking around at the offers.

EDIT: That said the price of quite a few nearly new, or not that old, used EVs is relatively low these days - might be a better use of the money.
