If DVLA already shows electric, we will not pretend you need convincing about EVs. Your report is about optimisation — are you on the right tariff, do you need a faster charger, and is upgrading the car actually worth it versus keeping what works.
Most EV owners we hear from have never switched to a proper EV electricity tariff. If you are still on a standard variable rate and charging overnight, you may be leaving hundreds a year on the table — no new car required.
A smart charger or timer so you only draw power in the cheap window matters more than app features you will open once. Solar plus export? Then a charger that follows generation can make sense. Otherwise it is easy to pay for connectivity you never use.
Your family has outgrown the boot, or your real-world range no longer covers the routes you actually drive — not the routes you imagined when you bought it.
The battery warranty is running out and you would rather someone else’s car carry that risk. Or you want heat pump efficiency and faster DC charging because your usage has changed since 2019.
We still compare running costs and can flag tariff savings or charger gaps. The verdict is “you are already here” — the question is whether you are getting the best out of it, not whether to go electric in the first place.
