£53.32 a month, and in the small print, £87 a month for a battery, which is mandatory, which is why I wouldn't hire from that smart arse company

Me neither. But given what apparently hinders EV sales is the initial purchase cost (even with the £5k government grant) its an inexpensive way into a car with very low running costs. Especially when you think what BMW charge for a 3 series hybrid.

It's clearly stated with a #

It's a separate charge after all

And it's only 5,000 a year

EV vehicles just don't make financial sense

They are only for hipsters to feel good
