If you're in Europe, then it's basically a rebadged Omega and should be treated as such.

If you're in the US and miss your Omega then yes, buy it.
As his profile says Lithuania, if he waits a year or two he might manage a Zil.
People don't always change it when they move and I chose not to presume ;)

Would it kill the insurance company to exclude or limit claims for cat thefts? Or body part theft of Festers and Corsas  :-\

That will be the other way around if you use the actual environmental cost of the whole vehicle across its whole life.

Is being able to charge at work treated as a benefit?

It should be as you* could theoretically live at the end of the road, charge the car at work and then plug it into your house battery and gain from the "free" electricity and presumably they don't provide petrol and diesel to employees.

Similarly, if you had to buy your own electricity but had nowhere to charge it, your overall costs would be higher  :-\

You being the royal you rather than personally.

Point being that running any vehicle, of any fuel type, costs someone something at some level and an EV only works as a fully funded company car.

What if you didn't have a company car?

You say that, but if they bear those repair costs, does that impact your salary? That's to say could you be paid more if they provided you with a conventionally powered vehicle rather than an EV. :-\

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Texas

It's a nice enough town with a bit of history and pride in itself :y not a million miles from Dallas  and the countryside on the drive up there was something that you don't really see in the UK. About 630 miles round trip.

I primarily went to see the Eifel Tower which is set in a park between the civic centre and a very tasteful memorial with a Cobra gunship as its centrepiece. My ex is French so was kinda cool to say that I had been to Paris without her >:D

Wasn't there too long as the day was long enough already... Side effect of going by myself meant doing all the driving  ;D

One totally random and unexpected thing though, which actually made my week... Does anyone remember the TV series The Highwayman about a bloke who drove a truck that turned into a helicopter... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Highwayman_(TV_series)

By total chance, I saw that very truck parked Infront of a house just off a country road 8)

.....

He decided to ignore all his own warnings about towing and towed me home 1/2 mile rather than call in a pick up truck. We went very slowly but I hope my trans is OK.  ....

it's ok to tow an auto 1/2 mile  :y
Upto a certain speed.

In theory you can tow start an auto but you need to have your wits about you.
