It's a test case really, if successful, they've said they'll roll out to the rest of us as and when our current deals come to an end (provided it works out, and is actually feasible for the mileage we do) I asked my place about their schemes and they gave me the details I spoke to them today and they gave me a list of cars. The Tesla, Volvo are the best deals. The plan was to sell my car and put it towards a PCP or HP but now it just makes sense to sell mine keep the money and go through work with the Tesla, works out about £280 a month.

EV or stick with the oil burners? No don’t sell cars or even work with cars. Good question. All depends on what distances you are covering is it daily or a couple of really long journeys a week? What cars are available also to you? That’s key really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
