Good to know what you said dear Liz Murphy. I live in India and here Govt. is not encouraging EVs except EV 2-wheelers generally used for within the city commuting.
But son who lives in UK recently bought a BMW Hybrid EV which has a Petrol Engine as well as a Battery and Traction Motor.
It’s automation is such that it tries its best to conserve Petrol.
Being a medical doctor in Hereford County Hospital in England, his day to day travelling is limited to within the city commuting involve start and stop and crowds during peak times. He is very happy with his choice although till now he has travelled twice to London (309+ miles) each way.
Now he is planning to got SPV Panels installed on roof of his house in order to make his daily car battery charging totally free.
I think that he made a right choice.
