So for sake of argument gas heating (85% eff) will be 13 p/kWh vs good ASHP (sCOP 3.5) 9 p/kWh - 30% cheaper than gas
And I assume if you buy a second hand EV you help maintain their resale value and thus reduce the cost to lease a new one

if the supply & extract are in the cold loft then they need a lot of insulation - like 300mm over the top of all of them
