I am quite keen on the idea of an electric car.

I am less keen on the idea of a car which spies on me.

I have an electric bicycle, which I love, and use as often as I can. But I am looking here for a car.

I kind of like the old Nissan Leaf, and it might *just* fit the bill, range wise. But I've also read various concerns. So I umm and aaah about them.

Newer electric cars leave me with a sense of "nice car you got there. Shame if we changed something about it or spied on you".

I am not a car person.

I drive, but I don't enjoy driving particularly. It is a means to an end for me.

I much prefer to take a train but, sometimes, is either not possible, or else does not make sense (generally, time or money-wise).

@neil and the price of an electric car that would replace my current diesel is a huge reason I won't be able to change right now.

@kelpana @neil Second hand prices (at least in the UK) are getting fairly sane - although not sure if that applies after the latest Tantrump.

@etchedpixels @neil last time I looked something that would replace my Diesel is well over €25k even second hand.
