    I'm starting to wonder if this kind of thing might make sense for the Mrs, we can charge it on the drive etc... but not at that £££. And I'm not chucking £18k at a lease to have nothing to show for it at the end of the term.

    I don't like spending £££ on a daily, so will wait and see what prices drop to over the years. Also, I wonder what the servicing costs will be - should be almost nil really. How will that pay for the glass palaces the main dealers live in?


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    The brakes will need replacing every 3000 miles due to their regenerative properties ?

    Brakes are hardly used on an ev. The 1 pedal driving cranks up the regen so you could potentially drive the car without ever using the brakes. The regen works by the recovery system applying resistance to drive train. A bit like turning ac on and off. We did 15k miles in our last zoe and didnt spend a penny other than the annual service to keep the battery warranty valid.

    The annual service was a visual check, brake fluid change and pollen filter less than £100 at Renault

    Its actually quite a fun game to play anticipating when to let off the throttle/variable resistor. To pull up perfectly at a set of lights

    Brake fluid moved to a yearly change, subtle changes to keep the servicing needs up
