My transport is a Subaru Outback 2.5 litre petrol bought for £14,000 at 3 years old and now 10 years old.
Hers is a 3 litre petrol SLK bought at 10 years old for approx £8000 and now 14 years old
What sort of mileage do EV users clock up typically and how much is long distance (over 500 miles) and what experience is there of a used car market thus far??
I had similar SLK. Still miss it.
I do about 8000 miles per year normally. Commute is 36 miles round trip x 2 or 3 per week, school run x2 per week 18 miles , a mix of country roads, motorway and city. A long trip would be to west coast Scotland from W Yorkshire once a year. Overnight stop on the way up. At least one decent break on the way. Yorkshire Dales, Moors and Lake District in summer.
A bit of forward planning needed., like a flight, with alternatives programmed in if a recharge is not working (should be better now the lowest bidder is not providing motorway rest areas with charging points.
Not everyone will be like this. The 25000 a year driver must have a Tesla for it to work
Caravanners with 12 children who live on the 17th floor will have to wait a bit longer I fear
