For a self-charging hybrid you need to be doing 8000 miles a year plus with plenty of longer tuns to balance out local use or the hybrid battery will not re-charge sufficiently.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
