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.


It's a question of perceived value not deterioration.



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.

How long is a piece of string?
Depends on how "empty" the battery is.
From completely empty on the fastest points, 20 minutes to 80% full so I'm told.
(This is a situation that never arises)







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