There has been talk for years how BEVs will suffer less depreciation than ICEVs driven by changes in consumer demand. However it is only just starting to show.

I guess the first generation of 100-mile BEVs (Leaf, Zoe, eGolf, et al) didn't have much demand on the used market. However as 2nd generation 200-mile BEVs with batteries that don't (noticeably) degrade hit the used market, demand will be high and ICEVs will suffer accordingly.
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

(Artist formally known as ******, well it should be obvious enough to those for whom such things are important.)

They will do now, as having one gives you acces to a BEV tariff, even if you never drive it anywhere - as has been pointed out by other people here!

Are EV tariffs available now? I just assumed it'd all be stopped at the moment.
