Hi I have a question on which car you would recommend.

I need to do a 230 mile journey twice a month (a303) mainly going at 70mph.
I have roughly 12-18k.very little other driving no commute.

Crucially for the next 8-20 months I have no way to charge at home. But potentially could one way (in London).

I was recommended the zoe ze40 or newer one but not sure it will get me there especially in winter without 2 30-40 min charges.

So with electric out? what is my next best move plugin or hybrid? Please help very confused what to go for.

Hybrids are suitable for shorter journeys where most if not all of it can be on the batt so it would not seem suitable for your needs and you would be lugging around the extra weight and costs and therefore decreased efficiency.

A modern diesel working at motorway speeds is at its best and by far the most suitable for your requirements.

That is unless you want to become green and are prepared to give time to charging. The historic problems of on route charging have disappeared but there is still the time cost.

You do not say if you can charge at your destination or near by, this would be the deal breaker for me.

Thanks for that. Yes I can charge locally at my destination but not so easily from Cornwall which is where I spend the most time. I'm thinking ze40 but will have to stop for 30 mins or longer? For the 230 mile journey
