Yep 664DaveS, my Dad was a Scotsman, so I guess being tight is in my genes.
The car for the mistress BTW, should have read SEAT Minimó, I was getting it confused with the Reanault Twizy, the SEAT is pretty much the same thing, just a little more refined and not available until 2021.
Mike it really is a no brainer, the Tesla Model 3 costs just 2 pence per mile to run, whilst the Ford Ranger is going to be around 16 pence per mile to run.
For someone like me doing 30k miles per year, so the Tesla Model 3 would be around £4000 cheaper per year to run, so it would only take three years to recoup the difference in price over the Ford Ranger, after that the Tesla Model 3 would be £4000 in my pocket each year, compared to running the Ford Ranger, probably more as fossil fuel is going to rise in price, along with taxation on all fossil cars.

What I suspect is more likely to happen is that they will start charging exorbitant prices to use the fast chargers. So, you will still be able to charge your BEV at home, if that's possible which it won't be for many, but if you want to use a fast charger it will cost you a fortune.
Why are companies installing these fast chargers? Its because they are looking to the future. They aren't doing it to help the motorist, or even the environment, its because they see an opportunity to make vast profits! Get everyone hooked on fast charging their BEVs, then sting them with massive charges. Once ICE cars are in a minority, if that ever happens, owners of BEVs will have two choices. Charge it at home (if they can) which will take all night, or pay a small fortune to use a fast charger.
