I'm curious, have you done the math for UK given current electricity and petrol prices?
This is highly region specific, but with the current prices of electricity across most parts of Europe, I'd be surprised if you could break even before the battery goes.

- dns_snek 3y agoI didn't know EVs in that price range existed to be fair, when I was comparing different options, it seemed like a common gap between ICEs and EVs was at least 10k, usually 15k. I'm not a car nerd so I don't really know if those two options are comparable without diving into it, but if the gap really was that small, I'd definitely change my mind!
