 Plug in hybrids - Terry
Folk need to be clear what their usage pattern is.

If 5 mile commutes, school runs and shopping make up the normal usage, able to charge at home, only occasional (once every few months) longer journey then hybrid could make sense.

Frequent longer journeys beyond battery range - probably a waste of time.

Leaving aside the status, green and virtuous motives - a small hybrid is ~8-10p per mile on electric, and ~16-20p per mile on ICE. 5k pa on electric saving ~10p per mile - ~£500pa.

This may be ~10 year payback - hardly worth it if only keeping the car 3-5 years - but the trade in price will likely be better than pure ICE.
