    as you say its the leap to electric thats the question, does it create problems unnecessarily but can they be overcome? i doubt i would let the battery go below 20% so that would give me 40 miles easily in an emergancy and i cant see me needing to go further than that at short notice, hospital return is max of 20. all relations within that.

    I think to know whether going electric will create unnecessary problems (wrong word), depends on many factors such, as your health now and going forward, having to go out in bad weather or during  winter eventually piss you off, it becomes a chur and therefore you stop using the car to its potential and you end sitting at home, among many other factors you need to think hard about. Anothing point, is the 64kWh has only gone on sale this month, so there no winter data out there and EVdatabase has no information, so in winter using the heating and all other electricall items, you wouldn’t use in summer may mean under 200 miles in the real world and therefor 20% battery could be half of what you expect. Thinking aloud I might have an idea charging at home, but will look into it first.

    Would having a C segment car such as the HS hybrid with memory / easy entry exit seats and seats that are generally more comfotable than the class below, along with more open space, make you feel more likely to want to get up and go out? @ajn reported 50+ mpg and comfier seats than his previos Volvo and may be worth speaking with post test drive.

    The C3 remember is not full hybrid like the Juke, the Aircross is along with a potential deal.

    Have you considered other forces charities now the auto grant has been taken away?

    Alot of thinking to do mate for you to come up with the right decision, but your be a braver man than me if you go electric lol.
