re ULEZ. We've a dirty diesel family carrier that we still need for family trips for a few more years but am just considering what 2nd to get.
a) lease a new electric like a skoda citigo
b) buy a cheap tiny petrol Kia Picanto or similar.
We have 2 teens learning to drive (when covid allows again), so the latter makes more sense for them in terms of getting used to driving 'properly' (I realise that this will age badly, but for now I'd rather they got used to driving with gears). And we'd still have it available in a few years when no3 is old enough.
But a lease on an electric, while they develop over the next 3/4 years feels like what we should be doing esp as a second car. And we have space to have charger etc. By then we probably wouldn't need the big car anymore and could consolidate.
So in a bit of decision limbo for now.
