  1. So this chump has saved £4000 in three years. Let's say for the sake of argument he's a third of his way through the EV's battery life, ie, car's actual lifespan, chump will have 'saved' £12000ish over the car's life. At that point the nine year old EV has £0 value, unlike a nine year old ICE. Oh and best not forget that the EV was way more that £12000 to buy in the first place. And then factor in the wasted time standing around waiting for it to charge (£50-100ph in my case, more or less depending on what you do) or looking for a charger when away from home, or the cost of the solar panels and batteries that these smart-arses install to try to claim it's worth having an EV. AND then there's the extra environmental cost of the EV's production and lack of longevity. These EVangelists are either nutjobs, gullible or thick as fuck. Possibly all three. The high-handed, smug, clever-arse responses here tells me all I need to know about these people. The only people who are happy with their EV's are those who aren't owner drivers. And that's not sustainable. The rest are just 'coping'. Same with people who have pulled out perfectly good boilers and had ASHP fitted. They'll tell you they're saving loads of money while they sit there in their coat.
