I implied nothing. I’m on a lease, I didn’t spend 5 figures at 0 miles. Comparative ICE vehicles were around the same price to lease. 5 figures seems to shock

5 figures seems to shock you but in the UK it isn’t a lot for cars. Here a Ford Focus starts at £28k.
As for maintenance I sold my last diesel for £7k because it was costing me £1,200/year to keep it running.
- rurp 3y agoBeing on a lease is even more reason not to generalize from your situation. Leases only make sense for people with the disposable income to get a new car every few years. People who are strapped for cash either buy older cars or get a newer one that they keep for many years.
- thebruce87m 3y agoI’m not generalising, I’m giving some specific non-ideological reasons an EV is actually better for me to challenge the original comment. It always amazes me that people revert to “EV Bingo” so quickly. They aren’t suitable for everyone, but there is so much FUD being spread that some will genuinely miss out on something that’s better for them in their situation.
