I am afraid that approaching 75 leasing is not for me as if anything goes wrong and I have to stop driving that car would be expensive to give back and anyway the lease is normally on far lower mileages than I would need.
I do wonder about the cost figures anyway. The cost depends a lot on how you use the car, how and where you drive and fuel costs in your area. I assume hat it did not actor in the availability of free charging that we have at the moment which would make a difference.
I always take these things with a pinch of salt as they are based on some theoretical person and not you.
I agree Ray, that everyone will have their own position. The idea that you may need to stop driving and hand the car back is clearly something to consider, but looking at lease early redemption costs might be a useful option, especially of you are looking at getting a new car with capital, as the loss on the depreciation in a short term might be just as bad or worse.
EVMs costs were based purely on getting hold of the vehicle, and did not include the economy of petrol vs electricity, VED, servicing. Depending on your mileage, there are other (potentially large) savings to be made there too.
The key take away for me is for anyone who is considering changing their car - don't write off EVs as too expensive or unusable, just because the telegraph is dumb enough to suggest people spend £100k on any car - let alone an EV!
