September 2011 Official Project Launch – and shortly after was the realisation that the infrastructure was not in place to support our needs. R Milligan

Key data example: based only on fuel (petrol) Versus fuel (electricity) The five project cars have covered approx 11000miles to date; At £0.30 per mile the fuel cost would be £3300 At £0.40 per mile the fuel cost would be £ miles in a petrol car would cost £1760 The e-Cars have cost £380. _______________________________________________________________ R Milligan e-Car electricity cost approx £0.035 per mile Petrol car fuel cost approx £0.16 per mile So… if there is a £10000 difference between a comparable spec e-Car and petrol car, then based on the fuel cost only, it would break even at miles

I would like to thank all the partners for their help in making this a success We are looking for further partnerships… R Milligan
