Just move nearer then.

A cheaper solution would be to get an EV and fill it up with electricity on your own drive like I do

How many years will it to break even?

In our case the money saved / month is now greater than the cost of the EV.

The capital cost of the EVSE installation was assisted by the government so about 0.3 years at a guess.

Personally queuing at the kiosk is a big turn off for me. Locally there is a Texaco garage which I'm pretty sure supports pay at pump and an ASDA which I haven't checked. Gemini says you can pay at pump but its accuracy is next to useless. I will be voting with my feet, or rather tyres. I wonder whether many will follow or whether the effect will be marginal?

Go at 3am when the only people around are the guy trying to drip the last drop of diesel into his tank and the other guy buying a bar of chocolate for his daughter on the till?

Aye right, not many of them on the West Coast of Scotland. It's the arrogance and lack of forethought that we all live in the 15 minute cities of the South that gets my goat.

Even in the south we're not all close to Costco. But if you check the poster's form you'll see the pattern.

Less that 18 months for me.
That was P/X a 2020 Hybrid for a 2021 EV.

16400 miles on Hybrid Petrol cost £2108.83
10,000 miles in EV £176.58
Difference in P/X £1,500

Moral of story, buy 2nd hand EV 😍

Just had to fill up again. The Texaco station looks kiosk only so on to ASDA . . . and behold . . . it's pay at the pump ONLY! Result.

For me, I'd have to get a dropped kerb, pave the front lawn, get a charging point fitted to the house, possibly find I have to re-wire the house, and then buy the car itself.

I'm guessing getting an EV would come to £50k+, plus charging (£13 at home, £50 at a commercial fast charge point for a full charge).

As opposed to simply keeping my already paid-for car.

I think the current car costs maybe £3k/year all-in (fuel, tax, servicing).

So break-even for purchasing an EV would be 16 years, not including charging and servicing.
