Yes indeed. Plus one of the largest costs of car ownership - depreciation.


Depreciation is high on current electric cars.


Why do they depreicate faster than ordinary cars and if they do doesn't that make them less useful per quid than a ordinary car.


So, buy second hand.

If you have solar PV panels, you can charge up for free in Summer.
In Winter I use economy seven.

For public charge points you need a card.
Present costs range from zero to £10 IFAIK


How long does it take to charge roughly from a public point.



Public charge points might be vandalised or in use when you want them.
