    Exactly. I can’t get a home charger, I’m in a terraced house with no off-street parking.

    I trialled an Electric Kia Niro last year.  It was nice to drive etc., but the lead was too heavy for me,  I’ve no power in my hands and arms to lift and plug the leads in.

    Everywhere I looked was charging different prices.  If I wanted to charge at a cheaper rate overnight, the charger was nowhere near my house.

    I have a disabled bay right outside my house due to mobility issues.  An electric charger 3 streets away is of no use.

    I chose the Qashqai epower Tekna. I’ve been driving it for a week. I chose it precisely because it’s a hybrid without any charging issues and no leads to plug in.

    I’m not sure electric, as it is now, will be the ultimate solution anyway. Things change rapidly.

    Will see what’s on offer in 2027, (?? depending on health), what changes are made, monitor the AP costs at the time,  and start saving all my “silver” change.
