I’m seeing a few of these around as taxis now. I’d probably try one out for at least a few months.
At least i could guarantee that the dog could fit in the boot! Plus the new ones have all the toys like adaptive cruise control. My e2008 doesn’t have that!
I just wanted to add now that there is a long range version it would be great if Onto could get some and hopefully boost their lower cost options. A £1200 Audi is lovely and all that but it’s the same price as my mortgage!
I think an MG would be a good choice for OntO either the MG5 EV for those who don’t want an SUV and maybe the ZS as well.
another vote here for the MG5 at sub Zoe rental 
The new 2022 MG looks very promising 
The MG 5 is surprisingly good. The Exclusive Long Range is the spec to go for.
I would 100% swap to one of these.
I would rent one too, I wouldn’t necessarily want to own one, but as an onto car it would be great, and I would definitely have one
I had an original MG ZS EV and it was a great car. A couple of minor software issues and annoyances such as no remote app or timer for the charger but for the price was great. Only swapped it due to the range been poor but the new 2022 looks great and I believe MG were keen to take onboard the owners comments so imagine all the little bugs and annoyances are well gone
I’ve recently handed my car back as I broke my leg. No point paying £500+ a month for a car I can’t use for at least 2-3 months.
I’ve noticed that Elmo have the MG range. You can get a ZS EV long range for less than onto are charging for a Zoe. It’s pretty tempting tbh. It sucks that Elmo don’t include charging though. I wish onto would offer more budget friendly options. The MG ZS, 5 and the upcoming 4 are all decent budget EVs.
Probably not as you need to compare apples with apples and Elmo doesn’t include the huge range of public chargers included in the offer like Onto. It does offer other products which Onto don’t yet have though, so can be a better choice depending on car requirements.
Yeah, the lack of included chargers is a big thing to consider. I had my e2008 for a year with no home charging. I have paid for very little of my charging over that time. It’s probably my fault the monthly costs have gone up so much 
I’m looking to move in the near future and a big consideration is at home charging. I don’t care if it’s 3 pin, I just need to be able to charge at home. And that might make the downsides of Elmo moot.
Given the ever increasing prices, I think Onto ought to look at offering charging as an add-on too. Maybe leave it included in the “budget” cars with lower ranges, as that helps sell the idea of an all-in-one cost for a little city car. But for the bigger cars, the ones people may be charging at home and using motorway chargers, people are getting no benefit, but instead subsiding those of us who survive off of the included charging.
It’s not just charging. Unlike Elmo, ONTO charge a single fee for delivery wherever you live. Also, they don’t ask for an insurance supplement if you live in a high risk area, as Elmo do.
They offer a usable public network of chargers for just £10pcm
Absolutely. The card subscription alone is £7 and change. So all you kWh charges covered for under £3 is a bargain. Now, if you can just find a BP charger that works…
Haha! I have one near me that has a fairly impressive success rate. Sadly it’s often busy when I want to use it, so I’ve tended to stick to the Osprey chargers slightly farther away as there are two together.
I’m looking to move to another nearby town that doesn’t have even one rapid, so home charging will be essential and all of a sudden “free” charging will be less useful anyway 
If you are with Octopus Energy you can move your current tariff to your new property.
That can be a massive benefit if you have a cheap overnight tariff.
May not apply in your case, but very useful to know for any others that might have home charging.
Inclusive charging is only a great benefit if travel is far and wide, unlike simple home to work commutes with charging at home and/or workplace.
I dont imagine ,many Sub based EV drivers have gone to expense of installing a home charger
With street charging prices over 5 times the true cost, it is imperative that a Sub based affordable option exists
£7 for Nationwide charging is clearly a bargain - they should make it 10 and include it as standard, giving a more like for like comparison between Elmo and Onto
I do 16,000 street charging miles pa - The charging included Sub model is why, as a low income pensioner pay £5k pa to borrow a compact car
Street charging is a licence to exploit…and we havent even seen what the Gov will do to replace road fund and fuel tax…
