I have a 240bhp fiesta, bollocks to getting a sensible car.
Not that I am bothered about the BHP of a car, but have you driven an electric car in Sport mode? Anything but sensible, trust me.. |

I have a Cupra Born V2 (V1 is less specced). I used to have home charging, but now use a 50p KWH charger provided in allocated parking. Costs me £26 for around 220 miles.
Mine is through a lease, like Tusker. It costs me £360 a month for 8k miles per year and has everything included such as maintenance, servicing and insurance.
Do I love it no. Is it fast - yes. It's great on country roads, it's great around town.
I am a petrol head and prefer a stick and noise. I would love to get a 2nd car at somepoint. Will probably stay electric now as much cheaper to run.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

Home charging was about £15.

Thanks Sippo. I really like the look of the Cupra Born. I didn't see it in the list of available cars sadly. Appreciate the info on the charging cost also. |

Just a word of warning. My mi/kWh has dropped to 2.4 this week due to the weather. It's usually 4 mi/kWh. Batteries do not like the cold.
