£1k to a install EV, high insurance cost and massive yearly depreciation with dealers not taking trade ins - Not worth it imo for a small fuel saving.
1 - you don't need a 7kw charger. You can charge without one, it will just be slower.
2 - insurance cost is higher across the board. That's for ALL cars.
3 - depreciation hits any car. If you are worried about it, lease one or buy 2nd hand (works for ICE and EV).
4 - it's not a SMALL fuel saving. You are looking at paying £3.5 every 260 miles or som. That's huge. Also, there's barely any maintenance to worry about which is also huge. (edited)
We get it you don’t like EV’s just move on
Same thing happens if you don't fill your car with petrol/diesel etc
British Gas were also a shambles on my sister's Solar Thermal install a few years prior – wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Not in customer's nor environmental interest at all, but only ticking a Green corp gov box, rather than actual efficiency etc that could help.
Pretty much no bidirectional chargers, CHAdeMO being fazed-out (£1k CCS convertor isn't even lockable, so not leaving one of those unattended). (edited)
