Bigger even than printing gazillions of pounds and ultra-low "emergency" interest rates (at an "emergency" level for over a decade...), eh? Yeah, right.
Yup, that's where I started my motoring. 75p for a gallon of petrol and a shot of oil in my trusty old Yamaha FS1E (50cc 2 stroke) ..... wish I still had it
A POUNDO those days when petrol was about a £1 a GALLON
. It was about two and a groat per gallon when I contracted the travel bug from my 1949 BSA C11 
Welcome to our forum.Prices rises are one of my main concerns, while I'm looking for my first EV.
MG EVs are on my short list, and the soon-to-be-released MG4 seems to be the perfect EV for me with a good mix between ZS and MG5 specs.
However, I'm worried that it might finally be listed with a price tag more expensive than expected, and that I would miss some current good deals on either the ZS or MG5...
(by the way I'm new on this forum, so "Hi everyone!")
Sorry I remember the oil crisis & petrol going from 34.9 to 44.9p / gallon!
IIs the outgoing MG5 the last of the 'cheap' over 200 miles EVs ?
The facelift ZS is more expensive than the Gen 1, which in turn was more expensive than the 5 to start with and I'm sure the facelift 5 will be more expensive than the Mk1 MG5, SR or LR..
I think we all know that we need more EVs that are affordable but each new one, from any manufacturer, that comes out seems to be getting more expensive instead. Perhaps they will be 'value for money' at whatever the price they put on but do we all need the spec that we have to pay for?
Do we need more of the old 'Escort L trim' type of EVs, i.e. base models ?
With the production line started for the MG4 (see link below) which looks very nice, where will that sit in the price spectrum?
Could we be sitting in a classic of the future, or indeed now, with good range, good spec, all at a price at the bottom end of the market.

interesting point classic EVs. Will there be any as who is ever going to buy an old car with firmware that won’t update and worn out batteries too expensive to replace? Maybe the era of classic cars has gone by?Is the outgoing MG5 the last of the 'cheap' over 200 miles EVs ?

Just a point of order, inflation and devaluation are two completely different things and should not be confused.
