lease prices have gone a bit mental for EVs right now (and a large section of non EVs it would seem)

You could have had a Zoe on lease for around £200 per month all in not so long ago.

My Soul EV was £270 per month all in for 15k miles, now £220 per month because of the reduced mileage. You don't pay for a battery lease either, that was something Nissan/Renault did in the early days.

You wouldn't of course swap 5 cars for 1, there's a reason you have 5 cars and that can't be replaced by 1 EV. Similarly we have 5 cars at home, kids have their own each, wife has hers and I have mine, along with the TVR. They all serve their own purpose but when we are together the EV gets used (and the wife is using it more)

Your calculations also missed out the capital depreciation of each of the cars which is something I factored in when doing my man maths of overall cost of ownership. Mine was far simpler though, as it was just replacing 1 car with another.
