How about an ex-lease EV (~30,000 miles) with a plan to sell it on again at 60,000 miles? Battery capacity would be ~99%. What's your budget?
Ok so, budget, £15-20k, big enough for a small family with an ability to carry bikes obvs, hatchbacks or SUVish shape I guess. I can't say that I'm super into the spaceship styling on some electric brands. What is there?
Considering fuel costs, I get that charging at home is best, but we're in a terrace so thats not really going to happen without being a pavement pirate - but I assume even using standard public chargers (not the fast expensive ones at petrol stations) is going to still be cheaper than equivalent buying petrol?

I did a brief calculation on this last year (when electricity was a bit more expensive) compared to my current car getting 60-65mpg.
Home charging with a specialist tariff was cheaper. Home charging with a standard tariff was about the same as petrol costs. Public chargers were more expensive than petrol.

Unfortunately UK public charging isn't cheaper than petrol anymore.
I'd go with an efficient ICE and save for some sort of home solar/charging setup for a future EV.
Or, if you're really keen I'd look at the Skoda Enyaq IV 60/80, VW ID 4, or Hyundai Ioniq 5 at ~30k miles (ideally for~£22k) and sell at 60/70k miles for the most favourable devaluation (currently ~£20k, but probably ~£15k in 2-3 years time).

Buying an efficient ~60mpg ICE vehicle makes more sense than buying a PHEV in my opinion.
EV plus solar at home is the ideal as it has the cheapest maintenance/service costs, less environmental impact and the free 'fuel' offsets the cost of ownership.
