    To compare ICE versus electric is somewhat unfair.  The one thing most forget about engines is they need oil to be running at a given temperature to be at its most effective, the motor is protected from the first second.  If you’re doing many trips of short distance, like to the doctor or shops, then there’s common complaints of things like the DPF that clogs up and you need to take an additional journey just to run at speed and clear the blockage, a bit wasteful.

    If most of your driving is local, the life of your components and, thus your car will be so much better if you drive electric, even a PHEV does better if you can charge it (even an outside plug and a granny charger will work perfectly for PHEVS as a long term solution).
