This weeks episode of FullyCharged with Robert Llewellyn is a bit of a rant about the BBC story we examined over the weekend.
The bottom line is, the BBC writer Brian Milligan calculated both cars @ 50% depreciation over 3 years.
The 'trick' used by the BBC writer was to calculate depreciation on the MiEV BEFORE deducting the £5k subsidy. If depreciation is calculated AFTER subtracting the subsidy then the MiEV becomes £1,557 or 16% CHEAPER than the Fiat 500.
I'm surprised Robert didn't get Brian Milligan on the phone and give him a bit of a grilling to be honest. Maybe next time.

Good video.
Fully charged of reason, with his british phlegm and brilliant arguments, Mr. Robert Llewellyn, has put a final point at BBC bias.
The simple adoption of electric motors, in place of internal combustion engines, would be enough to a drastic reduction in oil consumption, by the greater efficiency of electric motors, even without taking account the energetic matrix of the electricity supplier.
