I would consider BEV for the "shopping trolly" but not for anything else.

At the moment we have 3 cars: VW Polo (the "shopping trolly" but don't let swmbo know that I called it that), Jaguar XE for family trips and my use when the Morgan is not appropriate, and the Morgan Plus 4.
The Jag is diesel but the other 2 are petrol. I would not mind changing the Jag and the Polo for one car that covers the current use of the two but at the most I would consider hybrid, or plug-in hybrid. So called "light hybrid" is just a way of utilising generated engine power a little better and, in effect, still remains an ICE vehicle.

We all want to save the planet but after seeing the recent antics of a drug and alcohol stupefied crowd of thousands of "young" people at a recent illegal rave party I really wonder if it is worth the effort. This lot seemed to think that freedom of expression and the right to hold a manifestation allows the to occupy private property, drink and drug themselves to the point they can barely stand up and still drive away, and inflict all this on local authorities and residents. I doubt that even one planet saving BEV arrived at the location, and that includes the hundreds of emergency services and police vehicles that arrived at the site.
