Maybe a few years ago – and maybe they picked the wrong models – but that's not the case any more and won't be in the future. Used values are getting stronger all the time – and so is demand for used EVs; range in a lot of models is easy to get close to the quoted figure (albeit normally in the summer); many EVs are price comparative with their ICE counterparts (see, MGs and many Vauxhalls) and there are deals to be had on public charging.Looks terrible. Have several friends with E cars and none of them would have another. Depreciation costs huge,Range nowhere near as good as promised, Very expensive and time consuming if have to charge up away from home. 74p per KWH compared with home cost approx 30p.
I'm no EV evangelist, but that list of complaints is nothing that won't be overcome in the months and years ahead.
