………
Seemed the right thing to do , it was keeping me awake at night worrying about climate change..😂😂😂

A guy up the road from me must have had the same concerns as you, as he owns a Tesla ……… and a Mercedes AMG C63 Estate.  :y  ;D
.

Obviously a very caring fellow just like me..👍

I am currently re-considering joining the EV float gang, primarily due to tax reasons.

But do I choose something for the wife or me, what is changing is that the eldest of the little T's is starting secondary school. I need to drive her 5 miles to her bus stop every day and that's the same direction as work. So I might as well carry on to the office, as she has to get the 7:30 bus.

Combined with a personal tax efficiency saving, the EV's are becoming an increasingly attractive option.

Top of my list so far is:

BMW i5 Touring eDrive 40 (me)
VW ID Buzz (wife)

I did even sit in the new EV Renault 5, complete with it's baguette holder  :D

Not my usual choice, but, at a take home cost to me of £250/m on an all-inclusive deal with 15k miles and zero down. It was hard not to take a look. I'd spend that in fuel alone powering the current BMW.  :-\

The plastics look 'very low rent' much  like the plastics you find in a family tin of biscuits. :)

For the price, I was tempted. The issue is with the drivers seat in my position, no one, not even a child can sit behind me.

The baguette holder is inspired!  :y

Looks as though you could fit a bottle of wine in there instead.  :)

Eh, I quite like them, they do a blue denim seat that's better but I think these are pretty cool too. Arguably we're probably not the target market Renault were looking at anyway  ;D

A few months ago, our company EV scheme when from "worth considering" to taking the piss.

Not that it really matters, as an EV in these parts is going to be some way off.  Its quite telling that a lot of the houses that have had a charging point fitted no longer have TVs....

The Baguette looks a little stale to me but at least you'll have something to eat while waiting for the recovery truck!
