If you think about cost, long term it’s cheaper to skip the ICE and have a slightly better electric power train with a bigger battery capacity. That’s what Carlos Tavares said to the French government many years ago. Hybrids have two systems and that’s expensive and complex. Installing electric power plugs everywhere isn’t that challenging. I’m sure UK can manage it if the local government decides to do it seriously. By the way, 35k€ for a brand new car that is cheap to run isn’t a bad deal. New cars are expensive. Maybe you can wait a decade or two before switching with a cheap used EV that has enough range.
