How can an average family afford an electric car?
Buying a used electric car is a great option for a family, as second-hand models tend to be significantly cheaper than brand new. Electric cars have been around for a while now, so the used market has grown considerably. You can also claim up to £350 from the government to use towards the cost of installing a charging point at your home. In terms of running costs, you can switch to an EV tariff to ensure you pay as little as possible to charge at home, while charging in public will still typically cost less than filling up with petrol.
