Some new apartment blocks have charging in the car park that is at-cost. And ofcourse if you own a house with a driveway, that allows you to access cheaper rates.
Additionally, the current energy crisis should be temporary, normally electricity is 1/3 the price of petrol. At least if the tory government, that constantly harps on about growth, stops blocking construction of every windfarm and solar panel they can.
In personal experience, in iur famioy BMW it was the engine that failed.
Sure. By mileage my car is most often used for long distance trips across the country, for stuff under 10-20 miles I usually use public transport or cycle.
I had an EV for a period and used on-street charging 90% of the time for that reason. It was a tremendous pain.
One of the main, negative, reliability drivers in modern cars is electronics anyway, mechanically new cars hardly ever fail outside of normal wear (e.g. brakes, suspession, gaskets) that is simply unavoidable.
Now, the thing with EVs is, they have tons of electronics...
Regardless, as soon as EVs hit a price range, accounting for size and so, that is within budget we are going to switch.
In the past it's never really been the ICE parts that fail on my cars anyway. Rusted suspensions and frames, tyres, etc are the main service items.
