hope so i must admit i did think should have got a honda... bloody loncins  ;D

How much was it?

£1300 delivered

Cheapest I could find basically.

Selling my Honda in a month for about that much. Never missed a beat and never let me down. Been serviced regularly. The only thing that’s broken on it is the starter cord has been replaced twice.

Why buy cheapest?

I think the tipping point will be if Trump gets in. He is trying to work with big oil companies. Next year will be interesting and China are selling EVs at half the price of their competitors.

Manufacturers are slashing prices because they ain't selling enough and some manufacturers are pulling out of making them.

Not selling enough...

Some manufacturers are pulling out of making them? I ask because I had a good look and all I could find was Volvo selling off its share in Polestar in order to concentrate on building EVs under the Volvo name. Can you let me know which manufacturer is stopping making them?

Betamax came out before VHS, yet Betamax became obsolete. It doesn't pay to be the first jumping on the bandwagon of new technology.
Wait until all the problems of EV new technology is ironed out. They have low range, higher insurance, higher risk of battery fires.  Price of charging in public is rising, anxiety with range and charging stations. They are being pushed by dealers because of fines if not meeting sales targets by the EU even though we are no longer in the EU. Manufacturers are slashing prices because they ain't selling enough and some manufacturers are pulling out of making them. EV secondhand sales are depreciating rapidly which in turn fuels new sales. Dealers are refusing to accept old EV's making them become classed as white goods in a throw away society of keep it until it's no longer practical or financially viable to sell.
Hybrids ain't the future as once the battery is knackered the whole ICE car is rendered useless unlike a normal ICE vehicle, people don't realise this.
I'm fortunate I'll retire before needing to worry about EV's being forced upon us owing to ICE vehicles trying to be phased out by government, however the market and public opinion determine the future, not the government.

Step away from the daily express/mail/telegraph/sun.

Damn the EU. Forcing us to have stronger laws than they do regarding the phasing out of internal combustion. Painting us into a corner where they make our government, against its will, create rules more stringent than the EU. Bunch of unelected idiots, they are.

Betamax came out before VHS, yet Betamax became obsolete. So did VHS. What's your point? It doesn't pay to be the first jumping on the bandwagon of new technology.
Wait until all the problems of EV new technology is ironed out. They have low range,Not an issue if you're not driving it very far, like, you know, a window cleaning round higher insurance Not true higher risk of battery fires less risk of diesel fires.  Price of charging in public is rising if you can't charge it at home don't buy one, anxiety with range we suffered with that for two whole days and charging stations. They are being pushed by dealers because of fines if not meeting sales targets by the EU even though we are no longer in the EU. Manufacturers are slashing prices because they ain't selling enough and some manufacturers are pulling out of making them. EV secondhand sales are depreciating rapidly which in turn fuels new sales. Dealers are refusing to accept old EV's making them become classed as white goods in a throw away society of keep it until it's no longer practical or financially viable to sell.
