told you

2019-10-08 17:48:48 UTC  

so a fiat 500 buyer gets subsidised to buy a nissan leaf, or whatever

2019-10-08 17:48:58 UTC  

no, that was jaguar ipaces, those are expensive

2019-10-08 17:49:09 UTC  

ok, 750 billion then

2019-10-08 17:49:24 UTC  

leafs are about 30k unsubsidised

2019-10-08 17:49:28 UTC  

in many cases the difference is going to be 2-5k

2019-10-08 17:49:33 UTC  

nope

2019-10-08 17:49:39 UTC  

a leaf is 30k

2019-10-08 17:49:41 UTC  

what

2019-10-08 17:49:43 UTC  

fucking hell

2019-10-08 17:49:48 UTC  

my car cost £4500, that's a £25k difference

2019-10-08 17:49:53 UTC  

many people buy cars in the sub £1000 range

2019-10-08 17:49:56 UTC  

whats the cheapest electric car atm?

2019-10-08 17:50:11 UTC  

about £30k

2019-10-08 17:50:15 UTC  

oh dear

2019-10-08 17:50:18 UTC  

And they have a lifespan of 7 years

2019-10-08 17:50:22 UTC  

typically

2019-10-08 17:50:26 UTC  

i honestly didnt realise theyre that overpriced

2019-10-08 17:50:31 UTC  

Aye

2019-10-08 17:50:49 UTC  

i looked at the ipace cost which isnt a million miles from other jaguars and assumed it was generally a small mark up

2019-10-08 17:51:18 UTC  

Imagine all the lorries having to switch to electric

2019-10-08 17:51:23 UTC  

well a) it isn't a small markup, and b) only a tiny fraction of the uk public buy their cars new

2019-10-08 17:51:38 UTC  

pretty sure they start at a lot less than £30k

2019-10-08 17:51:39 UTC  

though

2019-10-08 17:51:41 UTC  

It would be far easier, far cheaper, and far fairer to force all freight and public transport to switch to electric

2019-10-08 17:51:41 UTC  

i think battery leasing is going to be inevitable

2019-10-08 17:51:46 UTC  

not saying they're good

2019-10-08 17:52:20 UTC  

nobody has really thought about that one very much - what do you do with millions of used car batteries

2019-10-08 17:52:26 UTC  

how do you even dispose of them

2019-10-08 17:52:41 UTC  

some manufacturers force you to lease don't they

2019-10-08 17:52:42 UTC  

Leafs start at £30,190

2019-10-08 17:52:50 UTC  

Shoot them into space

2019-10-08 17:52:56 UTC  

renault

2019-10-08 17:53:01 UTC  

Comparable Nissan Micra is £12,880

2019-10-08 17:53:29 UTC  

i had no idea the low bar for electrics was still so high

2019-10-08 17:54:00 UTC  

Yup, hence why I start reeeingh when these fucktard priveleged trust-fund cunts bark on about it

2019-10-08 17:54:34 UTC  

renault twizzy 7k + battery lease

2019-10-08 17:54:40 UTC  

THen there's the "rip gas and oil central heating out of every home"

2019-10-08 17:54:45 UTC  

How the fuck to they expect that to work?

2019-10-08 17:54:52 UTC  

The self same people want open-borders

2019-10-08 17:54:52 UTC  

its unusable outside a city though
