told you
so a fiat 500 buyer gets subsidised to buy a nissan leaf, or whatever
no, that was jaguar ipaces, those are expensive
ok, 750 billion then
leafs are about 30k unsubsidised
in many cases the difference is going to be 2-5k
nope
a leaf is 30k
what
fucking hell
my car cost £4500, that's a £25k difference
many people buy cars in the sub £1000 range
whats the cheapest electric car atm?
about £30k
oh dear
And they have a lifespan of 7 years
typically
i honestly didnt realise theyre that overpriced
Aye
i looked at the ipace cost which isnt a million miles from other jaguars and assumed it was generally a small mark up
well a) it isn't a small markup, and b) only a tiny fraction of the uk public buy their cars new
pretty sure they start at a lot less than £30k
though
It would be far easier, far cheaper, and far fairer to force all freight and public transport to switch to electric
i think battery leasing is going to be inevitable
not saying they're good
nobody has really thought about that one very much - what do you do with millions of used car batteries
how do you even dispose of them
some manufacturers force you to lease don't they
Leafs start at £30,190
Shoot them into space
renault
Comparable Nissan Micra is £12,880
i had no idea the low bar for electrics was still so high
Yup, hence why I start reeeingh when these fucktard priveleged trust-fund cunts bark on about it
renault twizzy 7k + battery lease
THen there's the "rip gas and oil central heating out of every home"
How the fuck to they expect that to work?
The self same people want open-borders
its unusable outside a city though
