    New cars

    Look very carefully at cost. Public charging would cost more than a V6, insurance very high but all peanuts compared to rampant depreciation- even if you buy second hand. Charging infrastructure leaves a lot to be desired and just because they show on ZapMap doesn’t mean they will be working.

    New cars
