I was sceptical when I read that. I done some quick back of the envelope maths based on the Renault Zoe (very much on the small / cheaper end of the ev scale).

I was sceptical when I read that. I done some quick back of the envelope maths based on the Renault Zoe (very much on the small / cheaper end of the ev scale). The offer they have at the moment is a PCP deal (basically you lease the car for 2 years then have the option to buy it) at £269 per month. At UK fuel prices that's equivalent to 20k miles a year in fuel costs in a equivalent reasonably efficient small petrol car. Of course that is assuming the electricity is free. Even if it was it falls apart when you check the small print and see the deal is based on 6000 miles per anum. Maybe there is a way of making the numbers come out ahead but it's not immediately clear to me how.
