A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.
All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!
No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.
The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

There’s always leasing, you might consider it rather than lose the value in depreciation? I know a few people going for it as they didn’t want to spend £40k on models which will be much cheaper in a contract term as the technology is moving so fast. Again it depends how much miles you do, wether you can charge for the cheapest possible tariff, all the factors which can bring electric miles down to less than half the petrol mile. When we got ours my calculation was the petrol was £50 a week, moved to £10pw charging from home so I put that £40pw (£160pm) to the monthly on the purchase cost. It can work out really well is what I mean
