It’ll be interesting to see how the second hand industry develops with electric cars, I mean who’d buy an electric car a few years old knowing the batteries are depleting all the time and they will cost to renew…

In 2015, I paid £10,400+VAT for a one year old van with 4,500 miles on the clock. Last year, I was paid out £9,700+ VAT by my insurance company when it was written off two miles short of 50,000 miles.
I replaced it with a similar, 64 plate van. At no point have I had any concern whatsoever about the life of the battery.
What is evident to me is how everyone who doesn’t drive an EV continually roll out all the same old arguments as to why EV doesn’t work, whilst those who’ve moved over to full EV, in the main, will never go back to ICE. I don’t count hybrids though, as that’s the worst of both worlds, whatever Toyota may tell you!
