well maybe not even the disposal of, just the manufacture, shipping and Assembly. I remember reading about the carbon footprint of the Prius. It in real terms was about 4 times worse than running a big american V8 Muscle car over 20 years with everything factored in.

Hmmm I wonder how the oil companies feel about that.....

I dont think the oil companies care to be honest, too busy counting their money! petrol and diesel are only a small portion of where the oil goes anyway, so the oil guys will never sweat! We will have run out before its even close to being an underused commodity.

I did indeed.
I did give the guy a couple of other options, increasing the monthly payment a bit and offering him "cash back" on his part exchange to put towards the end figure but his wife was turned on by the £16 a month!
And don't forget.....no road tax or congestion charges to pay.
Plus no nasty emissions
The bit in bold really gets my goat, because there are zero emmissions in generating electricity, making the batteries and disposing of them after 5 years.
Because the car doesn't give off exhaust gas doesn't mean there are zero emmissions.

Isn't the Land Rover Defender the most economically friendly car on the road (I read somewhere so could be total b/s)

I walked past a Tesla the other day, what a thing of beauty. If I won the lottery I think it would be my first treat...and I don't really care about cars.

Is this Nissan countrywide or specific to your Garage?Had an enquiry on a Nissan Leaf EV yesterday.
The Government are giving a £5k incentive for buying an electric vehicle, and our garage, together with Nissan are offering to match this as a "deposit allowance"
Worked out some figures for the guy with his £5,250.00 car in part exchange.
On a 24 month 0% PCP it came out at.............
£16.68 a month!
Tempted to buy one myself

I would have thought the offer is from Nissan Finance, rather than the dealership, so should be nationwide.
Check the Nissan website.

Think the entry level Tesla S is about 45k in the UK. The go faster one is about 70k, 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds in Insane mode!
I want the Model X which is not out yet, a 7 seat GT car.

The option to purchase value is generally an estimate of how much the car will be worth at the time it's handed back (probably a bit less than it's worth).
When you lease a car, you pay for the depreciation, which is often why cars that don't depreciate quickly are the best choice, and Fords don't make for a good lease deal.
So you're not giving the subsidy back to Nissan because the car is only worth what it's worth. If you trade in for a new car, they will usually give you any equity you have in your car towards the new one.

The BMW I8 is quite something too.

Depends what it's being compared to really. It certainly isn't a heavy consumer of fuel compared to a pretty much all other cars of that performance - Tesla's excluded, but then that's back to the point made earlier around how electricity that is used is generated.

So because people wrongly state that they have zero emissions I can't buy one? Makes no sense at all that smiffy

If you are going in looking at the "negatives" it's not the car for you La Lucha
