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

Because the batterys don't last anything like
as long as a conventional car engine does.

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

Corse it does unless you buy them used.

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.
