Removing air pollution in cities is a MASSIVE win for EVs.that's my point though. like i've said earlier, they were developed with the aim of saving the planet but it appears the vast majority are only getting them because of some other financial incentive. take that away and i'd wager there's be virtually none on the roads.
Literally saving countless lives.
I didn't have access to any scheme. I paid in cash.i, along with i'd dare say the majority of the population don't have access to the sort of scheme that makes them more attractive as well as all the inherent charging infrastructure problems. even if i did have some sort of incentive i doubt i'd get one. the cost is one reason and not being fit for purpose for me is the other.
I don't even have a cheap EV charging rate, I pay the full 28p per unit or whatever it is.
Still happy.
Skoda Superb does about 40 miles on pure electric. Which would cover almost every day to day drive we do.i did have a look last night at plug in hybrids and the battery range on them is neither use nor ornament. it's almost as if they're just to circumvent taxation laws. having said that, the brother in law and his mrs have one (a honda) and they love it.
Only flip to ICE for 2 x per month long drives
Ideal for the vast majority of people from the numbers we've shared on this very thread.
And even for someone doing 100 miles per day, its going to half your fuel use, which is still a great winner. And lets you go EV only in cities for the aforementioned air quality improvement.
The only time it isn't a winner seems to be for people who can't charge at home and that's total fair enough.
I prefer the torque on deisels and they tended to have turbos which you could get remapped and get LURDS of powerLet's be honest folks only buy diesel over petrol for the better MPG/savings.
Unless its a Ford Ecoboom engineBoth will run forever as long as its financially viable.
