Yeah for sure. Looking at the market and what’s available, I reckon we might end up with a Nissan Leaf because they’re small and relatively affordable to begin with. Hopefully the secondhand market for them will be ok in a few years time, but how economical the second hand electric market actually is with regards to battery life and replacement, is a separate matter.

Same here, but I am more and more loathing sitting in traffic with the type of driving I do (young family, non bike friendly drop offs, visiting in-laws in London) with the engine idling away so can't see myself getting anything other than a hybrid on my next purchase. The C Max, if looked after, could well have another 10 years in it, or it could go pop tomorrow, I don't know.
The only hybrids (or at least the ones that are everywhere) in the banger buy it now range, are those big Lexus 400/450h with 100k miles. Or old Ubers.
