It's not just suitable, it's ideal - provided it's not one of the more unusual diesel hybrids, at least. Petrol hybrids are great for short trips, particularly around town at low speeds. Here the electric engine and battery really help to improve economy and reduce pollution.
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.
