Of course I could buy one as a local runabout but that would be a total waste of money.
A few years ago I looked at buying a Hybrid but towing capacity too low and towing range useless. They may/have improved but decision taken so stopped looking.
If I were to travel up to North Northumberland using an EV I would have great difficulty in charging it unless close to Alnwick or the Holy Island turnoff. There may be a charging point at the Adderstone services.
As I said earlier manufacturers are looking to Hybrid and sustainable fuels because that’s the only way to extend range ( USA traveling distances) unless there is a massive improvement in battery design. Maybe the cost of the materials used to make batteries and where it comes from they wish to reduce the amount of material used.
That’s why Ford and others are getting involved in F1 as that is a research pressure vessel.
You like others have made the choice to have an EV, so be it. You had the funds to spend on one a lot of people will never be able to afford an EV.
