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.

I cant argue with someones' nan's facebook feed telling them outright lies, but there is a hell of alot of misinformation being peddled - and not just from anti-EV people. Some very pro-EV people also talk total shit. If you havnt considered it, why not?

Because I haven't got 25 grand to spend on a new car when my old one works fine. When that finally dies, I'll look again. Hopefully we'll be getting some good second hand stuff by then.

Same here. We have two cars. One fully paid off, the other financed at like 3%.

They're both practical, reliable vehicles.

The next time I'm looking for a vehicle, I do hope to buy an EV. This will be in 5+ years, hopefully. By that time, I'd expect there to be a variety of used EVs on the market. As well as improved charging infrastructure.
