Certainly they are losing 30% depreciation over the 12 month timeline according to the list I posted in an earlier thread. Another downside is the safety of pedestrians at road junctions. If they are not extra vigilant an EV could collide with them as they are so much more silent.

The upside? Providing you have a driveway and have installed the charging point then it will be cheaper to fully charge an EV on domestic electricity priced units than a ICE vehicle. There used to be plenty of articles on how much a vehicle would cost over three years but as I don't take any motoring magazines anymore I'm out of touch really.
