I bought a new dual-drivetrain, but on reflection should've bought an old (vintage) ICE car and attempted to push it a decade or more to bridge the gap to EV infrastructure making an EV viable everywhere in the UK
now you are talking

What I dislike is that we are in this 10-15 year cutover... if you buy something EV now you're overpaying and inconvenienced, and if you buy an ICE you've got a shelf life to the car and will increasingly be taxed off the road.
This might also go banging into the driverless /ownerless car phase.
This is the thing I want the most. Reduce car ownership by 90% and scrap the majority of old vehicles, replacing them with a massive fleet of roaming driverless vehicles for hire.

All that said... when the infrastructure is viable, a decade or more from now... my next would be a pure electric car.
