The fact is EV’s aren’t going to be viable to run on a budget.
With hindsight the whole Lease/Purchase, auto only driver instruction agenda has been about conditioning the customer base to the brake and go driving technique and an enforced 2 or 3 year replacement regime required for EV’s.
Which will collapse when they realise that Lease Purchase was based on a viable used car market which will no longer be there.
I foresee some type of coercion being used to get people out of the proven superior ICE powered vehicles first before trying to foist inferior EV’s and all the costs which go with them, onto a sceptical market.
Eventually resulting in private transport automotive use as we know it becoming extinct.
Like going all electric for domestic heating it will prove to be economically unviable.
Except even worse because of the battery cost and road fuel tax elephant in the room.
