    From £40,000, way too expensive therefore not the slightest bit interested! Considering the battery technology used in this car will be obsolete within a year anyone buying this must be bonkers!

    Astras used to sell for 14,000-16,000, whereas Vectras went for 19,000-24,000. These over-inflated prices are nothing short of highway robery. Keep also in mind that the electric vehicles also come with a hidden cost of around 10,000 ever 7-10 years to replace the battery.

      The batteries last the lifetime of the car, around 10 to 20 years. I have a 7 year old Nissan Leaf, 24kWh battery. It still have the full 12 bars of SOH battery indicator. The key is to not charge to 100% unless you need to, and never run it down below 10%. This is because the individual cells do not like to be either 100% fully charged (reduces life) or risk them running down to 0% state of charge (SOC) which can cause a reversal of the cell polarity.

      This is a common myth. Any EV produced in the last 5 years will have a battery that will likely out live the car. This all came from very early Nissan leafs from 2011-2012 era that had a different battery chemistry. Things have moved on. There are Tesla's that have done more than 300k miles and still going with relatively minimal degradation.

    Think you need to address front page Times newspaper Front Page News about Electric chargers ( yes unlike Guru cars etc You have addressed this subject but then what Times saying is Alarming ). You should tell your mates in the other publications and channels who you meet in the press pool Start talking Serious about this subject and more Importantly start asking Serious Hard questions to who ever .

    Vauxhall will destroy their own brand if they really want to be all electric in 5 years with cars of this expense. The price needs to drop at least 25% first.
