My brother in law is actively looking at leasing an electric Renault, not sure of the model. He claims the lease cost will be less than his spend on petrol. The government will not stand idly by and let motorists get cheaper motoring. Something will be afoot for sure in the corridors of power to smack us all down again when the timing is right!
Just wait until 2040 when they discover that the massive EMF's created inside electric cars have induced millions of motorists with electrohypersensitivity.
