Been wanting to switch to an electric car for a while but I’ve been put off by stories of people running out of charge, lack of charging points etc. but I need to change my current car this year so might need to bite the bullet. Someone mentioned hybrids to me as a possible halfway house. Trouble is, I’m totally clueless about cars in general and I don’t know where to start. So, anyone able to help?!
There’s me, DH and our two DD’s (11 and 13). I usually use my car for 11 year old’s school run but as of September, she’ll be making her own way to high school so I’ll just be driving relatively short distances for their activities and friends etc. Occasional longer journeys to see friends. Long family journeys will be in DH’s car which is big with lots of storage so my car doesn’t need to have loads of boot space etc, just needs to be reliable. No limit on budget but because it’s just intended as a run around, i don’t want to spend loads if I don’t have to. Fully electric or hybrid best? Any grants available? Eldest is in receipt of DLA but only lower rate mobility so we’ve not had the motability grants. Thanks in advance!
