Why did you choose this car?
It’s incredibly tax efficient and there weren’t too many premium end options available in 2020 that could compete on the mileage from a full charge.

What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?
I’ve only used them a couple of times. Look out for the free ones at supermarkets but don’t expect to get much of a charge for free.

I don’t have any favourites.
Who do you insure your EV with? Would you recommend them to others and why?
Direct Line.

Estimate how much money you save per month owning and running an EV compared to a petrol/diesel car.
I’m not sure I actually do save to be honest, I think over all, I break even. I charge the car at the office which means I no longer pay for fuel but I do low mileage and the old Jaguar XE had only cost me £50 – £60 per month in fuel. The lease cost is paid for by my business but is more expensive than on the XE. Also, the insurance is almost double what it was for the XE. I save significantly in tax but when you weigh up all the additional costs against the savings, because I only do low mileage, it’s pretty much break even.
