If you ran one for 3 or 4 years, the fuel saving alone would almost pay for it, the min range is 300 miles driving flat out, more than enough for normal shift work, half an hour of rapid charge gives you another 50% miles
So I rush out and order one, I borrow £49,900 for the privelige. the Interest rate on the loan is say 5.8% over 5 years.
The total repayments are £57,938.20 which Equals a monthly repayment of £956.64 per month or £11,479.36 per annum.
Lets say we drive 24,000 Miles per year at an average cost of 12.5 pence per mile for fuel, that's = £3000 of fuel saved.
£11,479 less the £3,000 fuel savings = £8479.00 divided by 52.25 Weeks =£162.27 per week (£706.00 per month) repayments.
The insurance would be astronimical, you'd still have to pay the Leccy, servicing of such a beast would be Telephone number money. In short you would be working day in and day out just to pay for the car, It'd still need tyres, Licenced etc.
Now unless the tarriff in Gala are something like £12.00 per passenger mile It's just never going to pay, and who would pay that when my old Diesel PH would cost a fraction of the price to do the same Job.
You order your Tesla Skip, I'll stick to my planet killing Diesel thank you.
