Environmental campaigners have called on the government to learn from its own successes after official figures showed the use of single-use supermarket plastic bags had fallen 98% since retailers in England began charging for them in 2015.

Annual distribution of plastic carrier bags by seven leading grocery chains plummeted from 7.6bn in 2014 to 133m last year, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said on Monday.

    I only know of Renault leasing the battery in the Zoe.

    Otherwise, the battery is part of the car and sold as part of it, with a guarantee.

    I think your £500 banger has to be years older than any large number of BEVs, and will cost you more to scrap after you ture of repairing it.
