need to keep the car for a while and do the miles to recoup fuel savings ! I remember this when dirty diesels were first introduced . So hopefully , prices will come down in due course , same as petrol/diesel vehicles back in the 90s, they eventually reached parity.
Are we being forced to go electric?

Better value compared to a new EV perhaps but still not cheap unless you go old and/or leggy and then you run into battery longevity concerns surely?
As an example, a 3 or 4 year old Kia Niro is still £20k+, hardly inexpensive for a second hand car! It’s about the only current EV that has any appeal to me in terms of size and look.
Some will be high mileage ex taxis. Hybrids a bit cheaper but not especially appealing.
It’s 10 years since I bought a car, and is astonishing how much even nearly new cost compares to back then

I didn't have the opportunity to ask that. There was a bank of cylinders on a 8'x8' shipping platform in the compound containing the genset.
Tesla supercharger in the UK are active for third party use
This was at Thetford Supercharger today. Obviously folk are happy to pay the premium price for reliability, always work rapid chargers.
Tesla will make a huge profit form these customers, accelerating their rollout of further superchargers

Any idea what they are charging (price before a wise guy says "cars")?
Tesla owners 69p/kW
Non Tesla 79p/kW
You can get a £10.99/month membership to reduce the non Tesla rate a bit(don't know discount)

How many miles covered in that period?
I'm guessing around 20,000
Nearly 25k miles

Our twelve year old Ford Ka2 will see us thro, petrol will be available for years to come as EVs are far too expensive for the likes of most people.
Darn it. Should have gone with my first guess of 25800 miles based on 3 miles per kwh!
She does use the power and its mainly fast roads. I can get nearly 4kW when driving
