If your current car is on the way out and you think an electric replacement is too expensive, think again. Three-year-old Tesla?Model 3s and Kia e-Niros that will do 250-300 miles on a single charge can now be bought for as little as ￡14,000. In the last year, forecourt prices for used electric cars have tumbled to the extent that previously unaffordable models are now within the reach of many families for the first time.

2 个月It all sounds quite positive in the CAP HPI interview when talking about Used EV RV's, but are prices going to drop in Q4 as OEM's up the anti on New EV registrations as they fight to avoid the Z Mandate fines? I love the idea of honest absence in Stephen J. Whitton. Founder of [M]enable, Speaker, Event Host segment. We all like to believe as managers we are being told the truth about reasons for absence but I can imagine mental health, menstruation and menopause are potential taboo's that people might not want to admit to their boss, and so a policy of staff knowing they are being trusted to take time off and they can be open and honest about the reasons is a great step forward to making the workplace a healthier place to be.
