Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Given that high miles, I would be very tempted to do bangers on a budget.Buy a £500 car, with long MOT. Apart from ensuring tyres/brakes are good, do absolutely nothing to it maintenance wise. Keep driving it until it blows up, then just buy another.

Longest journey is 110 each way with plenty of rapid chargers enroute. So even in the dead of winter the worst it would need is literally a 5 minutes rapid charge while I grab a coffee. Stemo: it's £440 pcm on my work scheme (fully maintained). So when you work it out I'll be spending about £9/week more than the Volvo, assuming that petrol and energy prices stay constant, I work on it myself and nothing beyond regular service items goes wrong. In other words, it'll end up costing me less.There are charging points at work as well, but only a handful. Sounds like it would work well, my commute is 25 miles each way, so in theory milk floats could work for me.Be interesting to see how you get on What are you going to do with the Volvo?

The mobile apps for the cars, are they outsourced? I know for Aston Martin, they don't do any on site, all outsourced. Gutted, as I know someone who works there and they can easily access Aston's for weekend fun. For your car how do costs work out, do you just pay for fuel plus monthly car cost?
