"Every business has to look at costs to see if there is a lower cost way. Income doesn't just come from customers, it can be increased by reduction in costs. My biggest overhead was fuel, an overhead that can be eliminated through a change to electric."

 

But Malc , you want other people to pay for the "fuel" for your EV, is that fair ??????

That discussion was closed after it was agreed that EVs can be charged at no extra cost by plugging into a caravan three pin socket in the normal way that other appliances are plugged in. If the overall usage exceeded the 16 amp supply then the bollard would trip. It is NOT other people that are paying, HD. It is the user of the pitch that is paying up front when they pay their site fees that include EHU.

Yes but the biggest issue, as far as I'm concerned is cost. I have worked a solution to that. By changing to an electric car, I can substantially reduce my costs.

It stands to reason that if I am paying over £2500 a year on fuel, I would be £2500 a year better off with an electric car. That's like increasing my pay from £7.50 an hour to £10.83 per hour due to the drop money and tips being added to my overall pay instead of being spent on petrol!

Pointless saying anything, but I would buy a new calculator as yours does not add up properly

Only to be spent on the extra cost of buying the car, over and above keeping the present, one. It is not even benefiting the environment that much, as much  of your fuel will still be derived from fossil fuels,

The present Smart car will not be kept by me, SteveL. It will be part exchanged for the new Electric version.
