Plan was to continue to drive my 10-year-old diesel until the wheels fell off, and ideally beyond. That day came sooner than I thought owner. I say it happened by accident because, like St Augustine, who pleaded with God “to grant me chastity and continence, but not yet”, the plan was to continue to drive my 10-year-old dieseluntil the wheels fell off and ideally beyond. Then – and only then, probably, maybe, possibly – consider investing in an EV.
I toyed briefly with the idea of a small, manual diesel or petrol car that the young adult offspring could learn to drive in, but since I couldn’t get a trade-in against my car, which was bound for the scrap yard, I wanted to use a personal contract plan . These are similar to hire purchase deals which leave you with a big lump sum to pay off at the end, at which point I plan to roll over into a new PCP.
The first nasty surprise was the cost of the home charging kit – still not yet installed. We’d been told to expect an upfront cost of €1,200, of which an SEAI grant would cover €300. In reality, it’s going to cost €1,380 plus VAT, before the grant. Plus an extra €220 to upgrade existing electrics.
