    thanks for telling us how much you made :)
    No problem, anything to dispel myths about electric vehicles (high depreciation definitely being one that barstool experts like to spout).

    BTW Dacia are coming out with an EV SUV that should only be around £10K to buy new.


    Which is about £3000 more than it costs in India with a Renault badge on the bonnet ;)

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    That's shipping costs + type approval + duty for you.
    Put it this way, you couldn't ship one over yourself for £3k
