  • That’s patently untrue. EVs are quieter, quicker, have more passenger space (generally) and nicer tech, all whilst being materially cheaper to run.

  • They are only cheaper to run because of the mismatch in tax on petrol vs electricity re my point about tax avoidance. The original owner of my Leaf swallowed 70% dep'n in their three years of ownership.
    A M340i Touring is about the same price as a Model Y LR. It's faster, handles better and rides better than the Model Y. The noise over 40 mph will generally be tyre noise unless the throttle is engaged.
    Not sure what you mean by nicer tech.

  • What a load of bollocks. Car drivers have been avoiding paying for the real cost of car ownership for decades. Fuel duty has been suppressed for years and the true cost of mass car ownership and the damage it's done to the environment means car drivers are massively in credit.
