Well it was second hand. Ex-demo car.
It had done 156 miles.
I got it £6000 cheaper than new.

There is a £5000 gov subsidy. I mention this to annoy TurNiP
Ah, OK. So effectively you only paid £20k for a car that, in petrol form,
was £10k new before being discontinued four years ago.

So that's a difference in price that equals 90,000 miles worth of petrol.

I paid just over £16k.


That difference still buys an awful lot of petrol, even before you add
in the cost of a new set of batteries in five years or so, assuming
average use.

Another problem might be getting parts, as there are only 28,000 in
existence worldwide, as against hundreds of thousands per model for most
normal cars.
