    The average car journey is only 8.5 miles, and the average annual mileage is under 10000 miles – I’d say EV’s ARE suitable for the vast majority now   (Assuming charging at home is possible) – just that we’re creatures of habit and abhor change.
    I’m an absolute petrol head, was born with petrol in my blood – last week I covered 540 miles in a single day, which was a unique day, I’ve never driven > 300 miles / day before – and we’re definitely considering a BEV at our next change.

    But… I estimate that as we’d save around £4000 / year in fuel costs over our present vehicle – it means I could get a 2nd hand RCZ R with 280bhp as a second car and be no worse off! ?
