We bought a new primary car last April, it was a toss up between an electric and a petrol/diesel, and we opted for a diesel car in the end.
Reasons: range anxiety, and war anxiety.
I want a Tesla, but the problem is that an electric car becomes a giant paperweight in an emergency.
We have a secondary, small electric car and we use it for short local trips. There’s been more than a few instances where a lapse resulted in not being able to use it because it wasn’t charged fully. And don’t get me started on the state of public charges, it’s a mess.
Don’t get me wrong, I like electric, but edge cases are real and important and so they must be planned for.
