Yeah, 'average'. So, if you average a £20k Dacia with a £100k Porsche, the average car is still expensive. Wonder what kind of EVs they're including in that 'average' to make it cheaper than petrol.

My neighbour got an EV a few months back. Price was good, yeah, but watching him try to find a public charger that actually works for more than an hour a day is... a whole other level of pain. Price is one thing, infrastructure is another.
