    When choosing  a new car, I did look into getting an electric car but I just couldn’t afford it.  My petrol Fabia was £12000 new, but most electric cars I looked at were about £35000 so totally unaffordable to me.  I realise the cost of electric then (2017) was cheaper than petrol, but is it now?How do I know?  For day to day local trips I use a mobility scooter.  My mileage for my car so far 11,000 miles in 6 years.  I know it would be cheaper to not run a car, but it’s the one little bit of independence I have and my car has a hoist for my mobility scooter ,so is essential for my freedom.
