Re: EV's still need both fuel & servicing
For 6 months a year, my EV is mostly powered by the electricity generated by my Solar Panels. In May, that gave me 590 miles of travel at zero running costs.
My EV had its first service back in April after 2 years and 20,000 miles. Total cost £226.00 inc VAT.
I do expect a mileage base VED to be introduced but quite how they will get around charging for miles driven outside the UK is something for the Politicians to mull over.
I wonder how many El Reg commentards really know their energy use pattern? I'd guess at very few.
Until you have a proper handle on your own consumption profile then it might not be wise to comment on that of others.
Downvote this all you like but the EV revolution is on the horizon and rapidly heading our way.
