That's exactly why I laboured the ridiculous cost in my news item. Nearly 3 x the cost of a C1. Same goes for batteries. In a G-Wiz they work out at about £100 a month. The politicians promoting electric cars do not really understand anything about cars and motorists. Only that internal combustion driven motorists are a major source of tax revenue, and that’s the main reason why they are supporting the unlikely alternative. However, Modec electric vans and trucks, built in Coventry, are only about 50% more expensive than an equivalent diesel van, so do start to make better economic sense. (www.modecZEV.com)
