Dead right Jocko - I think Robert Llewellyn is a pretty straight guy.
I like the look of the Honda E. It looks a cut above some of the other offerings but here's the thing - the price is going to be north of £25,000.
Is it the case that car manufacturers quite literally don't want to sell these cars in any great numbers because they have so much capital tied up in ICE's? I simply refuse to believe that a battery, a motor and a reduction gear is more costly to produce than an Internal Combustion Engine and gearbox. I can get a top of the range Jazz for £19,000 (ish) and a Corsa or a Fiesta for a lot less than that.
I find it difficult believe that they couldn't knock out an EV for, say, £15,000.
Interested to hear from anybody who knows any actual reason for the high prices of EV's other than to deter too many people from getting on board.
