My problem is that if it's local, then I don't need a car at all, and if it's not local, then the return trip to anywhere useful to me is immediately over 60 miles - so.. call it 100 miles range, to be on the safe side for winter and non-city driving. At which point anything remotely relevant is £8000+ (Zoe with battery lease) or even £10,000+ (anything else), for which price I can buy TWO pretty decent used ICE cars. Not to mention how, living in a flat, I can't charge at home. So that's what I've done instead. I sincerely hope it's my very last ICE purchase, but my wallet and my use case limited my options.
I have a 2018 Leaf SL and love it. We got it in July of last year for just under 25k. Still haven't lost a bar yet. A really great car fun to drive wouldn't go back to gas.
11 quid a gallon here in sweden. 500 quid a yearly service on an ice car. about 400 quid road tax on an ice car. we pay 30 quid road tax now. 2 quid to travel 120 miles and zero service costs as i do it myself. 2020 nissan leaf 40kw.
Nice video. On the Chevy Bolt - Do remember that it was very popular in Europe, during its time here, as the Opel Ampera E. And Euro reviewers liked it with its hatchback looks and impressive 250 mile range. It's a shame it never made it to RHD. On the early shape Nissan Leaf - several pundits prefer the 24kWh battery version as it never had a tendency to overheat, according to them. Whereas the 30kWh [my choice if I was in the hunt] apparently could at times of continued rapid charging.
