May fail the cheap criteria but a circa 2017 Tesla Model X with the free Supercharging for life SO1 option? How far from a Tesla Supercharger are you?

I'm in Carmarthenshire, I've seen one up Aberystwyth way and there might be one in Cardiff, so not a lot of help. I don't think the cost of charging is a major factor, though so it wouldn't have swayed me anyway
O9o, i have actually considered that possibility if setting off with a full charge as i live high up, and setting off anywhere usually involves a long downhill. I guess the bms protects the battery and you end up riding the actual brakes - still it stops them rusting.

Vanishingly few TMXs sold in the UK had free Supercharging, of those that did most would have had it stripped out when being PX’d at Tesla. Would be a proper holy grail car if you could find one though!

Agree, but strangely, three at least on Autotrader today! We had a discussion at the weekend about buying an SO1 option car and doing a retirement road trip across Europe

Beware people promising Free Supercharging in ads. It frequently turns out to be untrue. That particular ad promised "Free tax for life" too which is a lie! The car will attract VED from 2025 so that rather sets the tone for me...
