Personally I don't think EV's are the way forward, they are overrated and overpriced.
If you want a decent one for example the Audi E Tron or the Tesla then they take you over the £40K bracket and the VED is £565 for 5 years.
Next charging: Where I live there is one charging point, which you can check here on the
Zap Map.
Charging from home that's difficult as well as I would need a 100ft cable from the house up to my parking space.
Although I have Smart Meters I'm on 'Pay as You Go' because I rent privately and the Owner won't allow normal meters to be installed.
I reckon I will stick with my environmentally unfriendly diesel MG ZTT because I don't do many miles a year.
