The Bishop of Wakefield Tony Robinson was a curate when he got his first car, a Renault 14, which he said was essential for his early ministry in Tottenham in London.

“I paid about £1,000 for it,” he said. “But I needed a car to get to see parishioners and to go to the crematorium in Enfield for example which was about half an hour away. “It was a good car, I seem to remember. I was always having to do things. Rust was a problem, which doesn’t seem to be an issue these days.” He will retire this summer after 42 years of ordained ministry.

All the charging infrastructure seems to be near McDonald’s or KFCs so you simply charge it for 20 minutes and have a coffee. I really don’t seen it as a problem.” The Peugeot is his “company car” but the family also have a second car which is a diesel. “When it comes to change that car we will certainly get an electric car,” he said.
