Petrol prices did it for me too mate. Plus the ULEZ thing - I live just inside the zone and it was costing me a fortune just to park in town. MG4 was the sensible option and honestly I've not looked back.

For me it was the Congestion Charge exemption back in the day. I was commuting into the City 5 days a week, £15 a day adds up fast. Got the Model 3 in 2021 and it's basically paid for itself since.

My husband passed away two years ago and I couldn't face the MOT and garage bills on our old petrol Focus. The Leaf is so simple, just charge it at home like a big phone. I'm not technical at all and I manage fine.

Oh, hello dear. I reckon it was the church runs and village fairs that did it. My old diesel was rattling down the Norfolk country lanes, and to be fair, the fuel was getting a bit dear! I got a sensible little Nissan Leaf. Using Pod Point at the local Co-op and the Intelligent Octopus tariff, my pottering costs pennies. It’s lovely and quiet. Are you finding the InstaVolt chargers reliable up in Yorkshire?
