One woman sold hers after 3 years of usage as she was too scared sitting in a car park in the dead of night waiting for her battery to charge.

Of course the UK government provides buyers with a subsidy, to defray the cost, not something likely to ever happen here. Interestingly, I saw that BMW, maker of the Mini, has announced that they have 43000 forward expressions of interest for the electric Mini starting production on 1 November. I understand MG has sold out their first shipment of their electric model from China.
