A tv programme came on the night before I went away to pick up vehicle and it was a feature regarding cost comparisons from a survey/tests carried out by the RAC. Results were an EV charged from home on average was around 7p per mile, a petrol/diesel was 17p per mile and an EV charged with fast/rapid public chargers 22p per mile. I agree it’s early days still with alternative fuel options and not convinced it’s going to be electric but we may not be around when the new fuel becomes the norm, so for the moment I’m happy to give the electric a go. We’ve got the diesel burner as well in the form of a Trafic crew van and that is what we take on the long runs off the island because we need the carrying capacity. For instance today we have done about 6 miles in the car and that will be similar tomorrow. Alas don’t panick guys I haven’t lost enough marbles to go out and buy an e motorcycle! 😂😂😂

   In your situation it makes perfect sense to get one and I would think it should do at least 10 to 15 years should you choose to
   keep lt.

I agree that it makes sense for Jonny, I really hope it works out and exceeds his expectations.

I know it's different but I have never owned a cordless power tool that has worked for more than 5 seconds once it was over 8 years old.

I guess the lithium ion batteries life is dependant on number of charges? We have an old iPad here that the grand kids use now and it is 13 year old now! Battery seems good still. Couldn’t tell you how many times it’s been charged though!🤣🤣 There is likely other factors that determine the life. We don’t usually keep vehicles for too long before we need a change.😜

How about this little beauty ? From what I read, a 16 yr old on a moped licence can drive one. I'm tempted for my daughter's school run...its only 7 very rural miles each way....but we have to go through a ford, which makes me nervous..

The thing with this is - it seems to cost just under £20,000 which does blow ' small, cheap motoring' out of the water.

In contrast, the Citroen Ami is also a moped/car (quadricycle) and only about £5k....but it's range is rubbish.

That’s interesting Andy, a modern take on the “bubble car”.
