Indeed, that is a possible alternative approach, and if none of the PHEVs really convince me, the Kia E-Niro is still very much on the shortlist. That was one reason for starting to look well in advance, as if this is where I end up, the waiting list is pretty long.
We have an A3 convertible, 1.5 TFSI, which is fine on long runs as much as short. But if I take that somwhere on my own, SWMBO would be left with an automatic. She can drive this perfectly well but doesn't like it.
But there is a plus point with a 'pure' EV. The long trips are only twice a month or so, but we do 10-mile round trips several times a week for one reason or another. A PHEV would need charging each time, whereas for something like the E-Niro it would be far less often.
I know this is debatable, but I'd quite like to be able to do the short trips on electric power for environmental reasons as well as financial.
