Thank you. It was based on my mum being in a care home and my observations and things she said. Now I am in the same boat nearly lol

On reading the comments below I find many of them ill informed . Most people I speak to who have negative comments have not done any homework on an EV and are usually parroting misinformation they have heard , The benefits of running an EV far outweigh the costs of an ICE car in terms of running costs, pollution, and the pleasure of driving a quiet and advanced vehicle. People once said the computer would never catch on !!!! watch out the Jetsons !!!

where are these pot holes ?? please don't generalize.! The battery doesn't need replacing for 12 - 15 years and no servicing is required, no brake pads no oil changes so adding up all that plus petrol over 15 years . An EV owner is well ahead in costs. The newer batteries will have a life span of 20-30 years longer than the life of an car !!! EV's are getting cheaper . They are also quieter and non polluting .

Damage to the roads is negligible. Mining for anything is damaging oil gas iron gold etc etc. I could go on. EVs are not polluting the environment and brake dust is not going in to the atmosphere . People are always scared of the unknown best to find out the facts.

Batteries used to cost a fortune but not any more the price is coming down and the battery life is 10-15 years but newer batteries will be 20 to 30 years longer than the life of a car. An engine would have to be replaced before the battery !!! New Lithium deposits are being found all the time the latest in Bolivia . (people weren't looking before). The lithium and all other materials can be recycled . How is Lithium any more damaging to the environment than petroleum products ? Look at the app plug share you will see a multitude of charging stations even in the remotest parts. Petrol stations are starting to put in charging stations. Charging at home with solar costs very little . We have travelled across Australia and back cost about $450 . in a year since returning home we haven't forked out a cent.
