Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

useful!

Do you have a driveway?

Yes

What are you using the car for?

Very very sparsely in London, I do see a trip every month-ish (once we are back to normal) to Rugby I have a few mates there. I know esp a used Leaf with 100 miles-ish range could be painful but ICE/Hybrid is out of question for me :)

You can charge it using a normal house plug socket

I was looking at Pod Point as it was the first google result. It was £549 I think.

Leasing them is the best idea right now because of the evolving battery / motor tech.

I get this as a tech nerd but I looked at their depreciation and its not 'that' bad. £8k for example gets me a 2016/17 Leaf with 30k miles on clock. The dealbreaker for lease mainly is insurance; first time insurer. 20/21 plate costs a bomb.

Have you considered a Renault Zoe?

I looked at this but I know someone who had a Zoe and now has a Leaf he said Leaf is more spacious internally. The biggest reason I am getting a car is because my (lazy) parents are blackmailing me in exchange of free child care when they visit so car seat + 4 people.
