In any “which is better” question the answer will always be highly dependent on personal circumstances. So, I can’t ever be in a car for much over 2 hours without my pain getting excruciating. Therefore an electric vehicle which has a real 160 mile range presents no additional complexities to journey planning. However, our nearest petrol station is a return journey of about 40 minutes and so the prospect of being able to recharge at home is very appealing. I also have to say that living in what would be considered a remote area means there is no easy access to the cheapest fuel which means that savings will be even more than the average. So, at 4p a mile for the 700 miles mentioned the cost would be £28 giving a saving of around £37! I really do hope that a suitable electric vehicle will be an option when I next change cars.
