Pay per mile will eventually apply to all motorists, it won’t end at ev’s. Still cheaper to run an EV even with Pay per mile.

The imbeciles that vote labour need to give there heads a wobble.

Yeah, I've got barn doors, but havnt had any problems. Don't be tempted to go for the new cheaper version without snag built in, terrible idea, you'll end up breaking customers garden ornaments or damaging something.

The tories said they would scrap the petrol/diesel  ban due to come into force in 2030 if they got back into power.....let's hope they get back in....
Shame the site doesn't have a dislike button.

Ive got no desire to go electric at all and hopefully the next government will see sense and abolish it.

The whole green agenda is nonsense.

However, we’ve had a brand new Kia EV3 since August and its hands down the best car we’ve ever owned.

I’m a massive, and I mean massive, petrol head, but there is a place for EV’s.

For our type of work, and EV van is pretty much perfect, unless you’re doing loads of motorway miles.

Disclaimer - I absolutely despise the green agenda and owning and ev is purely based on what we wanted rather than ‘saving the planet’

I like using a diesel heater for window cleaning which will be a pain if im forced to lease an electric van. I just can't go back to cold water cleaning

Well there’s nothing stopping you having a diesel heater? Sure, you’ll need a separate tank, but that’s no big deal.

That’s not a reason to dislike EVs.

I agree with you the net zero policies are absolutely ludicrous, we are systematically destroying our own country over it.

Having a separate diesel tank in the van will have to do but it's much easier/convenient to run a diesel heater in a diesel van.

That comment is nearly as daft as you don’t need a van mounted system and I don’t need an electric reel that we’ve all lived through.
I’m 2 months electric and the running costs are 30% of what I was spending.
I’m happy with that and appreciate things  may change  but see sense, what on earth does that mean?

That'll soon change when the government charges you per mile for road tax!😄👍

£10 for the window clean and they get a free wheelie bin clean?

Only have 2 at a tenner and the other 6 are £15 a month. They are all near each other so don't need to move the van, I could batter them out in an hour if I don't chat with the customers. If I decide to move in to the estate then I would need a carrot so i could pick up most of them. 178 houses even at a tenner is a nice monthly earner. I do the wheelie bins for free, take them out night before, clean and put back in the next day. Once the estate is complete and I have most of the customers then I could increase my price. I think that's how big businesses work, they give one a cheap subscription and then increase with at least inflation every year. 😉

You clean the bins on the same day as you clean the windows? What if you're behind on the windows or take a week off? Where does that leave the bins? How do you clean the bins? Where does the dirty water go?

This isn't adding up to me.

He's on a wind-up.

Why can't you have a diesel heater in an electric van?

My reelmaster is over 7 years old now,ive never even had to replace a fuse. Its worked smoothly day in/day out all these years...never oiled the chain or replaced the switch.

I don't use the swivel. Mine was around £650 back in 2018. I think they are closer to a grand now.

Personally I think they are well worth the money. I bet i get at least another 7 years out of mine!
Aye stainless steel is about £1200 now, just shy of £1000 for powder coated steel.
