Well of course they are....aren't they ? Yes EVs are expensive, mostly, but I have been astounded by the price of new cars in general for some time. One of the many reasons I bought my first EV in 2020 was down to price. It was cheaper to my new ZS EV than to buy a Ford Focus, or any other...

Just thinking about how much our holiday fuel cost. 1000 mile trip. £80 worth of public charger network ( mostly Tesla member rates) = 8p / mile ?? Seems reasonable. To be fair I'd charged to 100% on solar before leaving and upon return, so freebies and paid £9 Tesla monthly subscription, but...
