I'm not sure why I bought my i3; it was an impulse thing really.

Having had it over a month now, my only regret is not switching sooner.

June was my first full month and according to the app I used 201 kWh @ 4.5p ~ less than a tenner for nearly 1,000 miles. My drive is less stressful and relaxed, plus I can stealthily sneak into work carpark unnoticed - which is nice.

Nice if you have a choice of vehicles like that - sounds like your in the top 5% of earners? but until the cost of EV's are at a sensible level and the average driver can afford to buy. Then its not going to be fair and the rich / poor divide just gets wider - there again I guess the roads will be quieter?
Please; plenty of topics to discuss that - this is a quiet backwater to discuss reasons we've adopted BEV, not a political debate/argument.
