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.

The battery isn't the whole car.




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 they'll be little trade in 2nd hand electric cars then, which makes them even more expensive.
