The A35 was about £20 per week more than the entry-level A class, which is something I noticed the other day. So, something to think about if you're using a financial instrument.
I thought it was possible to charge an electric vehicle at home.
In that case, I'm leaning toward an electric vehicle; assuming a petrol A Class gets 35mpg at £1.79/liter, that works out to £165/month.
Just £380 per month gets you a Mercedes electric vehicle.
The larger Renault 5 EV, on the other hand, would cost you £220 per month plus £30 for charging, for a total of approximately £250 per month, as opposed to £550 per month for the Merc.
A friend of mine just dropped £22,000 on a brand new, low-mileage 2023 BMW i4. I would definitely be in that if I had the means to do so. He claims that his range never drops below 30% and that he is plugged in again; I'm not sure what the equivalent Mercedes would be, but it has a 370-mile range.
vehicle that was worth £62,000 when new but had 40,000 miles on the odometer was £22,000.
So, the EQE, I suppose?
