    In April, electric cars were the worst performing with values dropping 4.7 per cent, petrol cars dropped 0.8 per cent and diesels fell back 0.9 per cent.

    * Dropping like a stone!

    There are new EVs coming onto the market in 2024 and 2025 which are going to be priced significantly lower than their existing equivalents. These include a new Tesla, a new VW and a new Renault all with a target starting prices of around £20,000.

    This is due to reduced parts costs and economies of scale. The inevitable result of this, is that prices of existing EVs are being driven down and it was something I was aware of when I purchased my first EV in 2021.

    Models of EV of around 8-10k are coming into the market this year or early next. Tesla know this hence them driving down the price of their own models.

    The value of current EV’s are going to plummet.

    Not strictly about EV's but my eldest lad has just brought a kia niro hybrid and told me the latest nissan Qashqai have a breathalyzer kit and that car will not start until you take the test every flippin' time
    Imagine doing that every morning before setting off for work
    Will get your day off to a cracking start
    The new car might be happier, gets a regular blow-job

    The wonders of modern technology

    You're from Bratfud
    You drive on Bratfud's roads
    You will need drugs of some sort
    Just to fit in

    *There are plenty of people who are smokers and have to go to their car for a smoke due to bans and restrictions at workplace etc
    **Thank goodness cars cant talk(apart from sat nav/radios etc)
    Although they are working on this no doubt

    When ever I hear of people at parties, social gatherings ETC taking drugs coke is mentioned so I'd think cannabis and the likes, not talking from experience.
