Re: legal target

I agree I read the 50 mile comments and as an example a Renault Zoe has a real world range of 80-90 miles, so you would just drive to a charging station, drive home and then .........

Mind you I looked at this recently.

Zoe £5k

Battery rental £60 month for 7500 miles/year

Therefore £720 in rental a year.

Petrol is £1.30 litre so that would be 533 litres or 122 gallons if a petrol car does more than 60 mpg then it is cheaper to run and there are quite a few that do that these days diesel the argument is better.

Mind you my old petrol car just costs me the fuel each month and as it is 30 years old it does the job.
