Another option would be a second hand Ampera. Battery only range is about 40-50 miles according to most internet chat. That would be just about sufficient for my usual daily routine. Plus, full range is 350 miles including generator-powered range, and apparently they do 40-50mpg in generator mode. They seem to be about £10-11k, if I could finance one for £180 a month, that would be about the same costs to run as a Leaf, and is a far better all-rounder car as it has a proper range if required.
Hmm.

Perhaps you no longer look in the other place, but Smokie over there has just done exactly that a few days ago. There's an interesting thread about it called something like "auction value of an Ampera".

No, never bother any more. Don't knowingly socialise either on line or in person with those who have sought to remove my rights to live, work or retire in Europe on the terms we currently have. And there are so many of them on that site that I now avoid it entirely.

OK. In that case I guess you've read everything there is to read at speakev about Amperas?
I'll repeat what I said, I think, to him. It's a great choice of ev and real shame they stopped making them. Try one if you can for sure.

One thing Smokie mentioned is about servicing. The Ampera needs to be serviced according to the the right schedule etc. to protect the warranty.

I'd be buying a three year old+ car in the case of an Ampera. Not sure I need to worry about manufacturer's warranty. But yes, I'll look in to servicing costs. Bound to be higher than the Leaf as it has a 1.4l petrol engine on board.

The warranty covers the powertrain and batteries I think and lasts for maybe 8 years. But only if properly serviced with evidence it's been done.
