    @wonky No problem. Happy to help.  A self charging hybrid may be your answer? However, I had a Tucson self charging hybrid for a full 24 hours and wasn’t overly impressed with it. The mpg was no better than the petrol BMW that I was driving at the time (although the BMW was surprisingly economical). In fact, the Tucson was slightly worse over a journey that I do weekly, so I couldn’t see the point of it. I don’t have any other experience of self charging hybrids, but my understanding is that Toyota are better at it than most. A RAV4 could have been a consideration for us (as my wife owned one privately from new for 10 years and loved it) but they are very out of date now compared to their peers and the infotainment systems are woeful. I read yesterday that a new RAV4 is about to be revealed. If they address these issues, that could be one to look at and might be worth waiting for?
