@EVPuzzle @NissanUK A good spec qashqai with e power will be 40k. An Ariya will set you back 60k, and depreciate quicker. There's your answer

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@MarkPotter81 @bobbyllew @QuentinWillson @FullyChargedDan Yes, all this is great. But for most people it's an unattainable outlay of capital that they don't have, or can't justify spending when the status quo is cheaper

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@DannyTh46002503 @bobbyllew @QuentinWillson @FullyChargedDan 👍🏻 That's all lovely, but for most private buyers it's not financially effective to go for one. There are numerous other benefits of course, as you state

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@LewisStanding1 @bobbyllew @QuentinWillson @FullyChargedDan 👍 Yeah, I'm not saying they are inpractical, I'm saying for most private buyers, they don't make financial sense. So we are relying on people wanting the enjoyable electric experience, and the environmental benefits

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@LewisStanding1 @bobbyllew @QuentinWillson @FullyChargedDan Agree with you, running costs are a great bonus

However, it's the initial purchase price, often a 30% - 40% premium for the electric version of a car

Factor in also, that because all the incentives are for new business buyers, depreciation for private buyers is a disincentive

@daf1999 Yeah, I wouldn't be putting up interest rates. £ is week because the country is a shitshow. Sort that out first

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@daf1999 Strengthens the £ so makes imports i.e. energy traded in $ cheaper

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis Still waiting. The one you tried to serve up wasn't long enough as I kindly pointed out. Was also inner city location where you are unlikely to be towing

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis Still waiting for you to show me a charging station suitable for when you are towing. Shouldn't be that hard, if as you say, they exist, and travelling with a BEV is all about preplanning

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis That's my point though. If the battery through charging gets built on motorways and A roads. Those that tow will happily buy them, the instant torque makes them great at towing. Until that happens we are stuck, the provision for it isnt being planned in

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis Criteria was that it needed to be at least 13m long (more really), with access suitable for a car and trailer

You've served up something too short in the middle of a city

🤷🏼‍♂️

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis OK lovely, can you send me a link/screenshot/Google Street View to one like I did on the H2 station. Happy to be proved wrong 👍🏻

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis Funny thing is, out of all these 10s of 1000s which are out there, I've never seen one of these with enough parking for a 12m long setup without blocking the road and a charging lead flexible and long enough to reach any part of the car. Plus access needs to be accessible too

[Richard Davies @dobbsynuggets]

@Synchronicity34 @SteveHorwath @ivanrmoore @FullyChargedDan @RemindMe_OfThis So perfect for a car towing a caravan
