Discretely browsing another forum and a member there made mention he had a Renault Twizy. This caught my imagination, as I do very little mileage and don't need 4 seats when I do. A personal sized electric scoot for occasional local journeys would be ideal.
An exploratory surf of the small ads shows they depreciate quicker and Eric Pickles at a bakery closing down sale, so very cheap used ones with tiny mileages abound.
Very cheap servicing (no engine or gearbox), free road tax, cheap insurance...what's not to like?
Well, having to rent the battery is not to like. I don't like the idea of having to fork out each month, and then being stuck for electrons if the lease company decide to stop renting them out at some point.
The idea really appeals, and the battery is the only major fly in the ointment.
What do you fellows and fellowesess think?
