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

Imagine all the lorries having to switch to electric

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

can't even go on motorway with that

c-zero £17k

this one is usable bur crap

smart eq £18k, now this one seems ok enough

thats still a lot more money than a lot of people can afford though
