Sounds like an electric car would suit your mileage well, provided you can charge at home and don't have to rely on London's flaky charging infrastructure. If you can't charge at home, I'd recommend a hybrid.
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.

What would be the best PHEV or EV with enough boot space for two dogs and with 4WD for snow in winter?
I have been viewing July's sales figures and I'm confused by the BEV, PHEV, HEV and MHEV classifications. Could you please give me an example of each?
We’re seeing more hybrid and pure electric cars but very few electric range extender cars (e.g. BMW i3 REx). Why do we not see more of these?
