Electric cars or petrol, which ones are best?
Electric, every time, and that’s even after the budget.
Last year I drove a Hyundai i10.
And it was a good, solid, reliable car, but every time I drove it I was putting carbon into the atmosphere and directly contributing to climate change. And to do it, I was paying about a thousand quid a year in petrol.
Then I traded it for a Renault Zoe. It had 14k miles on the clock and cost £11k. The budget means I’ll have to pay 3p per mile in tax. That’s about 150 quid for the miles I tend to do, and my home charger adds about another 150 quid to ‘fill up.’ So compared to petrol, I’m still 700 quid better off for the same mileage, and I’m at least doing less damage to the climate.
So for me it’s a no-brainer. Electric cars are cheaper to run, they’re better for the environment, and on a more mundane level, the ‘engine noise’ even sounds more modern. They are absolutely the future.
