Re: Long trips are the exception
Agreed.
We both mostly cycle to work, local car journeys for a car boot full of shopping from the supermarket the other side of town (no, it won't fit on our bikes).
However, our parents live at opposite ends of the country, so visits to either are multi hour journeys, partly due to distance partly due to the congestion on various roads in either direction, and this is what is holding us back from diving into the EV deep end. We are toying with having an EV for normal use, and then just renting a petrol car for long journeys.
