Sure, but it’s £46k for the base model. An example of Car prices going abit over the top IMO
I think it’s trying to get us used to the idea that electric cars are a premium product and not a straight replacement for your petrol / diesel car.
I have year left before I need to replace my Lexus ES (or buy outright). I was sort of hoping that Lexus would have a suitable EV replacement as I would be crackers not to get an EV for bik company car tax. Even if they have a suitable product in the market by then, how much is it going to cost?

Insane but I can’t afford even cheap normal cars at new price, so I may not be the right audience. To be honest I can’t see how anybody can.
Most ppl think in terms of monthly PCP payments rather than the sticker price. And as above, a lot of leccy cars and hybrids are business leased. Cliffe60 said:

Today I read about a Toyota Mirai doing 623 miles on a tank of hydrogen.
The article goes on to say "Together with Hyundai/Kia, Toyota is one of the biggest proponents of hydrogen fuel-cell tech".
So is electric really the guaranteed future?
Or will hydrogen just be for lorries?
No way would I be shelling out on an expensive electric car right now.

Dunno if it’s that many miles but mate has one as a works pool car and it costs £60 to fill.

But in the future the government will be clawing back lost revenue on fuel sales.
They're not just going to let that income go.

Is it just me or is this a lot of money? Hybrid RAV4 £32k - plug in £46k.
Am I missing something here?
Yes,Am I missing something here?
There is an identical Suzuki version and they want similar money for that! At least it’s got all the bells and whistles on it. But I am not sure the brand can support a car with such a ticket.
