Ask a milkman.

What's one of them the cry goes up.
Let alone the mysterious reference to what he drove.
Ernie the fastest milkman in the west... seems so recent but it's from the dark ages!

I got offered a job at Express Dairies as a milkie in my youth but my boss put my wages up instead (bakery driver to local shops). There's still milkies but they're few and far between and they drive Transits now which takes the fun out of the job, I used to love the sound of them pulling away.

You used to love the sound “of milkmen pulling away.”
That conjures up weird images

The battery is degraded and a new one will on average cost around fifty grand plus labour!
More than the car is worth?
I've always always said electric cars are not the future unless something monumental changes.
Secondhand your electric car is more or less worthless making it as disposable as a your phone!

Good idea Rollup, Ecars should be sold as per phones, sign a contract, drive away for a couple of years and then go back in for an upgrade and sign up on a new model.
Old cars get taken away and updated for next customer, or stripped for parts.

For those that want to buy outright will we need a bigger drawer to keep our old cars in?
Disposable cars, we're going to need a bigger landfill.
