The problem with an electric car is after a while it is worthless. <br>The average family with 2 kids and a mortgage buy a £5K car with 75,000 miles on the clock. It will cost them a service and perhaps a minor repair every year for the next 7 years. Then it's sold on for maybe £1K.<br>But who is going to drop their £5K on a second hand EV knowing that the battery is most certainly going to give up in the near future and cost a fortune to replace? When an EV gets old it's worthless as nobody will buy it.
