Marcus Rendell

Automotive Software & Ownership-Cost Analyst

Marcus tracks the running cost of car ownership for ChargeCostLab, with a focus on the software subscriptions, connected-service fees and feature paywalls that increasingly sit on top of the purchase price. He reconciles manufacturer price sheets, owner-forum receipts and independent consumer research into figures buyers can actually plan around. He takes no payment from automakers or service providers, and every price here is dated and sourced.
