My 2016  Peugeot 5008 diesel only has 25,500 miles on it.

On average I do 3k miles a year, it makes no sense for me to change.

I drove an MG4 Xpower yesterday, WOW what a beast for 25,500 brand new.

The 2 closest chargers are £0.79p and £0.85p.

Thats twice what diesel costs me per mile.

List price of the MG4 X power is £36K.
The MG4 EV base model starts £26K,

I pointed out an MG4 X power the other day registered three weeks ago for under £25k.  Approved at an MG dealer with delivery mileage.

Good reference here, an already cheap hi spec EV @ 36K RRP with essentially 30% off the ticket price.

I just checked insurance on a few EVs that I like, unsurprisingly they about 25/30% more than similar ICE cars, plonk on electric costing me double petrol or diesel due no home charging, I will probably just wait and see if any EVs I like get to a price I'm happy to pay for the experience.

Charge at home for 7p.
Find a tesla open to all charger for 30 to 60p.

Anyone looking for a cheap pre reg EV, look on Autotrader. Any from the stellantis group can be had with massive discounts.

Charge at home is always the reply.

I like many are not able to do that.

Third floor, over 100 flats where I live in 5 blocks.

Not one charger. Bp only near me 3 out of 4 are out of order every week.

Tesla are 9 miles away

Well if people do not mention can't charge @ home, then you have to expect that answer.
9 miles is nothing. Saving would be good enough.

3000 miles a year would be one charge a week, in many cars. I could do that at local Sainsburys while doing weekly shop. 🤷‍♀️

But each to their own. Unless flat owners install charger's & this should be something that the government is pushing them to do, in all the spaces they provide for residents. You are in the rock & hard place situation.

10,000 miles a year is one charge a week in our car… 3,000 miles is a charge every 3-4 weeks.

After reading this thread, it just makes me want to keep my diesel for as long as practicable. 

Yes indeed. 

Petrol or Diesel, if it's not a monster and kept in good condition and driven appropriately, keeping good servicable cars like this win on many fronts and probably by far the best real environment way to behave. 

But we like shinny new cars, mobile phones and the like, plus the finiance industry has made it look easy to achieve shinny items to make us feel better that the Jones next door. 

PCP is a great example for the above. 

Maybe I'll put a private plate on my car, swap wheels with a mate and change its colour by wrapping it and most neighbours will think its a new car. 

What fun! 

Possibly okay for the environment, but not other people's lungs.
