I Am Still Very Dubious About Electric Cars,

especially when I read articles like this,



from the article by Ian Plummer (pictured above), commercial director of Auto Trader, the article reads,

'electric cars bought one or two years after manufacture are costlier to run than petrol or diesel equivalents, according to the largest new and used car marketplace in the UK. Mr. Plummer said electric vehicles (EVs) bought used but under one year old – former showroom demonstrators, for example – work out £7,000 dearer than petrol or diesel equivalents over three years and 30,000 miles, when the total cost of ownership (TCO) is considered'. also the article mentioned that,

'while a two-year-old electric car will sting buyers to the tune of £4,000'.

it is a very interesting article and well worth a read, for us I think we will stick with the diesel, until it is no longer available at the pumps, by then all of this electric green nonsense will have sorted itself out.
