Fact? Nope. Totally circumstantial.

An electric car like the Leaf or Zoe will do 70 miles comfortably year-round without needing a top-up, more in summer. If destination charging is available, or there are chargers en-route, that translates to an effective range of 120-140 miles before charging starts to become a burden.

Does the job for me. I've got two journeys outside that range planned for this year - 170 miles each way for a wedding (doable - just a little slower than normal) and a 320 mile trip to visit relatives (might borrow a car for that one - haven't decided yet). A Leaf or Zoe can make a good main car. You just have to make an honest assessment of the journeys you make and then weigh up the savings against any potential inconvenience. For me, the calculation was favourable. I'm saving about £900/year on fuel, paying about £30/month less than leasing a similar petrol car and I'm paying no VED. Zero tailpipe emissions is just a nice bonus.

Current gen EVs aren't for everyone, but they're far from useless. The technology clearly has a future - crashing battery prices mean that the next generation is likely to manage 200 miles from a charge. That's where appeal will really start to broaden, especially on the back of government plans to have rapid chargers every 20 miles.

i suppose if you take
1 year = 8760 hours
w = time spent driving between charges(hours)
x = top speed
y = time it takes to charge(hours)
z = total number of achievable miles in a year
{[8760/(w+y)]/y}*x = z

i think that is your answer. however it is dependant on multiple people roatating the driving so that sleep doesnt become a variable(or sleep/eat during charge time)
Also you would need to be on a track allowing you to obtain top speed asap and allowing you to charge as soon as battery is drained.(the time spent accelerating and stopping i have taken as negligable)

Hope that helps

Ha!! and my son said "when am i ever going to use algebra in the real world...." sure showed him!

someone's maths is wrong. the monthly way too low.

Link says "Finance Calculator: Unable to calculate, the OFP is greater than the advance. Please adjust accordingly and re-calculate."

The calculator refuses to accept those figures my end.

There must be something wrong here - if not, I would sign up immediately!
I'm paying £180 per month for my Renault Zoe on a two year PCP, and was very pleased to get that.

By the way, electric motoring is wonderful if it fits your lifestyle.

I love my leaf. Note that this is the 24KW version. The latest one out is 30KW, closer to 100 miles range in real world driving. Still a heck of a car if it is available at this price.... I save this much every month in petrol.

I agree, if this is really 125 a month it's an absolute bargain, I'll have one

Set the deposit to 0 and it calculates and brings back £125.27 per month/24

Do you not need to add in battery rental to the deal?
