You may well already be familiar with Vauxhall’s Corsa EV. One of the mainstays of European car rental and car-sharing systems, this compact electric vehicle is an automotive appliance, a functional piece of industrial machinery that’s designed to be hard-wearing and economically efficient, giving the best returns when it’s in constant operation. In this respect, it’s more like a bus or an airliner than a conventional passenger car. So is there any point in actually owning a Corsa, rather than using an app to locate one nearby?
