Electric car take up has increased rapidly with Tesla listing at no 3 on sales last month in the UK of overall vehicle sales.
Decline in hybrids is gathering pace Good news |

All they simply need to do is price them properly. In fact, just slightly less than a normal car
Everyone would buy one. Someone could make a fortune and the Middle East would stop buying our football teams.lol |
But how many of these are solar powered ?
its only rich and poor people can run them presently |

Live within your means, whatever level rhat maybe |
Fully agree watched a programme explaining it. Plus I believe it said it would back lash on the car manufacturers and explained why. It's on YouTube somewhere.

Thats the whole point. You sign upto 3 years to pay for a vehicles- nice and new- coz people like to show off their lovely new motor they're driving, paying quite alot each month Lease cars are restricted on mileage, require the borrower to service and maintain thee vehicle as per agreement. Then come the end either pay a big balloon payment to actually own the car or give it back. The person is then stuck with either pay balloon (which most haven't got). Have no car, either sign up to another lease deal or buy a cheaper older car- folk invariably wont do the latter for fear of community standing. Meanwhile owning a lease car has a drain on finance for other commitments.
All well and good if income can meet the never ending lease treadmill. i hope youre not claiming its more expensive than the depreciation on a new car |

PCP, lease all benefit those who sell them not the user of the car. Unless you're leasing through a business where tax breaks can be of benefit |
Well you wouldnt make the ballon payment , that would be crazy
