Hybrid or Full Electric car? Currently have a Volvo XC40 hybrid

Hello.
I'm looking to update our car, we've got a volvo xc40 hybrid. Its great but I do get annoyed with having to charge it so often.
However DH not convinced enough to go full electric as yet due to not enough charging points if we go on a long trip away and also he's not sure of the actual mileage you get from the battery. We fairly regularly do trips of about 150 miles for family reasons.

Any thought? Or experience?

thx

As long as you can charge when you get there, I would go full electric. Bear in mind that range decreases when it is cold.

We regularly do a 170 mile journey with no option to charge when we get there so an EV is too inconvenient for us at the moment.
