Cheapest 200mile EV?

[Pulse00]

For thread closure, I ended up buying a new 24 plate Astra EV for £21k in cobalt blue. Quite a bit different from the Polestar 2 but thought this was a bargain price. I heard these are quite efficient so hoping for that 200 mile range and a few years of warrantied commuting (albeit boring!)

21k new is startling value on the face of it.

That is staggeringly good value... im impressed

How did you manage that when the cheapest Astra EV 24 plate with delivery miles are showing up for £27k

EVs aren't selling that well? Lots of dealerships are selling them off as if you sign up for a PCP, they know you'll be back, so playing the long game.

Pentagon Vauxhall had them for £20400 over the weekend, I paid extra for the blue. Had to be signed for Monday and registered before month end. Pentagon got a special rate with Vauxhall and passed them on to customers. It was the highest heat thread on HUKD over the weekend. Advert got pulled Monday 9am but they still honoured???Only downside is that it is in the lowest spec 'Design' which has frankly quite ugly screen/display surrounds and not the glass fronted flush screens the other specs have. Other than that spec is good.

I expect the chap below you is correct - EVs not selling as fast as they are being made. Nothing to do with PCP though, I'm paying cash
