I suppose it's all relative, my last petrol car, an Audi A8 was almost that figure for the 12 month minor service which wasn't much more than an oil change! My servicing cost now is zero apart from my own time cleaning the brakes once every year and a half or so.Loads cheaper, some of these dudes getting £530 for 3 services lol
MG4 service plan
I’ve received a quote from my dealer for a service plan for three annual services and the first MOT for the cost of £471.39. What does everybody think, it’s sounds expensive to me because I thought ev sevicng would be cheaper because no oil change, filters etc
Looking at my receipts, my ND: 1st = £205 2nd: £315 3rd £215

Like when I climb to the top of the stairs and then ask myself, why am I up here ???.
Pause for a while and decide to go back downstairs.
As soon as you reach the bottom, you suddenly remember and have to go back up again
Come on ................. I know you have done it yourselves folks

It's not that the suggested tax is particularly high, but it's these little additions to the cost overall. The advantage appears to really only be there based on circumstance, such as charging at home? In that case seemingly you can rake back the premium for buying an EV within a reasonable timeframe... If you're reliant on public charging, then not so much.
Have you test driven the petrol ZS? I have, just for comparison when I bought my ZS EV. Trust me, you wouldn't want one, they have a really crappy drivetrain.It's not that the suggested tax is particularly high, but it's these little additions to the cost overall.

Whilst it seems a 23% increase in fuel duty rate could be on the horizon early 2023, even at £2 per litre I would have to go some distance to spend the £10k+ premium for buying a ZS EV over the petrol version. So with rising energy costs and other benefits gradually being eroded, it's becoming less and less worthwhile to not just buy a petrol car
What am I missing? In a financial sense, not an eco warrior's. Any economists here?
Yep, I have - let's just say it lacked a little welly
. I'd suck it up and use it though, if budget determined that to be the best option. With ever decreasing EV ownership incentives, an ICE car (even if not this one) is still turning out to be a competitive choice.True
The 1L manual turbo one isn't that bad. You get the sunroof and decent interior on that, too. It's that 1.5 naturally aspirated one which is the horror.Yep, I have - let's just say it lacked a little welly
Maybe blind optimism on my part, but I'd be surprised if that comes into fruition in a cost of living crisis. Fuel duty hasn't been increased in years, and of course 5p was taken off earlier in the year, not that anyone noticed as it's been a nice little earlier for the stations. The back benchers would be in uproar over that. Very shifty how he never directly mentioned it in his 'speech'. Again though, who knows these days.
Are they not already in power.
well said in reply to a rather mean-spirited commentAs a pensioner myself now, I do welcome the rise in line with inflation of course.
But remember, you have to count yourself lucky to still be alive to collect your state pension these days, as the government keeps moving the goal posts on the state pension age, further and further out !.
Have personally seen some of my close friends pass away prematurely, prior to receiving the pension that they had contributed into all of their working lives, then thank yourself very lucky that you are in good health and able to work.
My parents had to gain permission from my head master, to allow me to leave school before the end of term, in order for me to start an apprenticeship that I had secured for myself, at the young tender age of 15 years.
I was in full employment until my retirement, so I think I have paid my way in life, but are likely seen as a drain on the system now.
Remember the increase in inflation is not due until April 2023 but we are paying the higher cost of living rises right now !.
I wonder if the energy company and the super markets will wait to get paid until April.
