Applied. Might find a use for it one day.

I'll get one but only flaw is you live over 100 miles away from me and I think most electric cars won't do more than 100 miles

I have had 102 miles out of one charge but I had to drive so carefully it was exhausting

What car do you drive?

The Nissan milk-float Leaf

Full electric cars are cool in my opinion, even the leaf. I did recently watch a documentary on the history of electric cars recently though which may have influenced my opinion.

Have you worked out how much it costs to do a full charge at home?

I like it, it's nippy and cheap to run.  I haven't worked out the exact cost of a charge yet but it's about £2 from which I get between 60-90 miles.

It's a shame they only do 16A sockets. If they did a 32A one, I'd be interested.. And I'd inform them that the best location would be just by my workbench.... where I boil my home brew park my Leaf.

So, for a smallish car, that would cost around £10 in petrol or £7 in diesel.
How much per month is the battery rental?

32A is a cost upgrade...

Surely the batteries are included in the purchase price. Therefore my question would be......how much to replace the batteries and how long do they last?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

If the charger is free, as in £0......Then I'll apply.

The batteries are rented if you need them to be or, as Matt said, you can purchase. Either way, a price consideration.

Just had a look at the Nissan site. From £70 a month.
I only use about £90 a month in fuel.

I'm guessing that new batteries cost well into four figures.........and as for their longevity, I have no idea.

That's because everyone you know has died of extreme old age. Hence, no need to visit.
