The main advantage for me would be neither of those things, it would be not having to go to a fuel station, a job I detest! An electric vehicle very much appeals to me, but we are fortunate and have a large garage in which we could charge it. However, I am a realist and EV’s are completely impractical for us (as a main car) for many years to come. Their current range is woeful unless you only do short journeys and the public infrastructure is many decades away from being adequate for us all to drive one. Stopping for a few minutes to top up petrol or diesel is faff enough, let alone a half an hour stop to recharge! With our current car (diesel) we did a fantastic 21 day touring holiday around Scotland. 3,500 miles in the most remote parts of the UK. Even with a conventional diesel with around 500 miles range, we had ‘range anxiety’ a couple of days! Just couldn’t contemplate that sort of holiday in an EV. If we still ran two cars I would consider an EV as one of them for the local trips. As an aside, why are most EV’s so pig ugly? Hybrids are mostly OK as they look like the normal cars they are based on, but most EV’s I have seen are not ‘lookers’! My wife and I both have quite different taste in cars, as far as looks go, but we are both in agreement on this.
