The real cost of EVs

[andrew34ruby]

To me the idea of electric cars was appealing. Small efficient cars that would need little maintenance and use little of the earth's resources. Somehow it all seems to have gone wrong. The Nissan Leaf has got bigger, The small Zoe seems to be hardly ever seen, and I feel surrounded by very large electric Tesla and various large electric 4x4 type cars.
So I think I'll stay with my ten year old 'modern', maybe for another ten years. Having owned it for ten years, it would be nice to have a change, but no, that doesn't seem right. Meanwhile, out in the sunshine in the Ruby today.
