I changed my mind about buying an EV at the last minute and went for a hybrid. The cost wasn't the issue, it's the worry about having to stop and recharge every so often. Living where I do, rural county, and travelling abroad a lot, I couldn't be arsed to factor in recharging stops on my journeys.

I looked into it a couple of years ago.

For me the lack of range, the scarcity of charging points on route and the time taken to recharge were the deciding factors.

DH has just purchased a plug-in Hybrid.

All electric is not for us.

Yesterday I did a test drive in an EV. Looking at the pros and cons, costs etc of buying one of these vehicles at age 70.
Have any other grans made the change and what are their views on it.
I really think the cost of these vehicles needs to drop significantly as we move rapidly towards net zero.
