Citroen C1 ev'ie.

Will cost £16,850 (N.B. *list price*).
Top speed supposedly 60MPH - OK in commuting traffic (say 50MPH "normal" speed).
Supposedly 70 mile range 0 OK for a normal 30-mile round trip.
90p to charge overnight.
No road tax.
Reduced running costs.
So, say 260 working days in a year, 7800 miles. Fuel cost for commute
C1 ev'ie £234
50MPG car £668 approx.
Fuel saving = £334.
No road tax £120
Other savings £???
Total = £500??
I don't think it'll fly of the forecourts. Pity.
Add to this:
£5,000 Gov't. subsidy - by the time that comes in, £10K for the car?
If in London, no Congestion Charge. Free parking (perhaps).
