Default Re: Electric Cars

Interesting that from someone with real world experience. As I stated previously, it was the battery lease cost put us off due to it being a fixed £69 cost, which is more than our petrol cost for the Citigo. £69 will buy me approx. 660 miles in the Citigo. For what you pay, you get 4x115 miles per month (one charge a week) = 460 miles for £69 (plus charging costs of 2p/mile?). It still seems like a poor bargain to me. Obviously doing more miles brings the per mile cost of the Zoe down, but these are not suitable as 12K a year cars right now so a little pointless to compare.

Can you explain if I got the maths wrong or if indeed it seems that cost per mile of the Zoe is still more than a modern small car of similar size / power?
