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.

You quite sure you ain't one of those
rocket scientist drunken terminal ****wits ?

The battery is in fact by far the part of the
car that depreciates in value the most
with an electric car apart from the tyres
and with what is between the ears of the
driver if you are the owner of that 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,

Or there may be quite a bit with those who decide that
they are steaming turds with wheels getting rid of them
when they discover conventional cars are much better.

which makes them even more expensive.

It does indeed.
