We have bought an electric car!

[ObeWan]

Whatever way you go it will cost you money - no free lunch. The depreciation factor on a decent EV is a cost many EV owners seem to forget, their eyes seem to be only on the prize of how much they are saving in fuel costs.

I fail to see the point here.
All vehicles depreciate to some extent. I have purchased new ICE vehicles in the past which have massively depreciated and the scarce few which have done so only marginally.
Purchase a luxury European vehicle and the depreciation will make your eyes water!
 I would suggest any vehicle owner of any motive power, seeking your “free lunch” would probably be left bitterly disappointed in that regard.
Driving an EV, is not purely about fuel savings either, although that is welcome now fuel is above $3 per litre, it is also about one’s personal choices.
