I do 800 miles a month in a 10yr old merc diesel that easily has 200k miles left in it with proper servicing.
I live in a Grade2 listed property that has no on street parking out the front or footpath. I’m prohibited from parking outside my property so the nearest legal spot I can park my car is roughly 50 yards away.
There is a covenant on the grounds of the property(detached) with 3 gardens that prohibits me from changing the walls/fence or using the grounds for parking.
I infrequently have to get up at anytime of the night and drive up to 50 miles each way.
To reinforce my original point..All this chatter about different rates, chargers, deals, cards, RFID’s(no idea what they are) led me to the conclusion that I’m fine as I am.
Ironically many have said that an EV is cheap to run but seem to spend a lot of personal time and energy chasing savings amounting to pennies.
I don’t even look at fuel prices. I fill up once a month. My car other than it’s emissions has made its carbon footprint. Buying a new EV will create a new carbon footprint. I’m not convinced an EV is that clean either. Electricity, dependant on where you are in the UK has its own carbon footprint.
I do upwards of 60mpg. I’m fine.
