Assuming petrol at 134.1p/litre and electricity at 27p/kWh the first table shows you the comparative running costs for your stated average mileage of 2750 miles in a used BMW i3 and a used Fiat 500C.
The second table shows the same result for charging the car at home on an EV tariff Of 8p/kWh.
The savings are massive.

...but Accy can't home charge, and he won't get electricity at 27p/kwh from a public charger.
Reckon on about level as worst case Accy, and take it from there, as I said earlier.

Fair enough.
His target/break-even cost for electricity would be 51p/kWh then.
Nearest ultra fast charger to me is 39p/kWh.

OK, things have taken a turn for the worse! I've just been to the dealer's. He told the Vauxhall had been sold AHD it wasn't £2,500 but £3,950! I did think it was cheap and I was right.😏 Anyway, I've found another and it's your favourite 'dissing' car, the BMW Mini! The dealer told me it's a trade car that doesn't come with a warranty etc.

Except Accy isnt a trader, so this "trade sale" nonsense they try and pull is meaningless in law and Accy as the same consumer rights as he would a regular sale. Out of principle dont go near it.

You make the same point as I do, just with less economy of words
So is it a bag of shoot or not? The trader wants £1,000 for it?🤔

I'm sure it will be an exceptional car, the trader is just a very generous chap.
