I drive 60 miles a week - is electric or hybrid best for my next car?
I want to replace my current car and am uncertain whether to go hybrid or electric? I probably drive only 60 miles a week urban driving. I am looking for a small to medium size car. As this is a second car I am not necessarily looking at top of the range and certainly not in excess of £25000 new. I am prepared to look at several manufacturers. What are your views?

I think your usage and the fact you have a garage qualifies you for an electric car and best of the bunch for £25,000 seems to be the new Nissan Leaf: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/nissan/nissan-leaf.../
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.

Millions of owners of houses and flats are not able to park their cars outside their property. So how do they charge their electric cars? No article ever seems to answer this problem.
I'm looking for a new company car and l'm interested in hybrid vehicles due to the lower BiK rates in comparison with diesels. I will be doing regular 100-mile journeys, so need to factor in real world...
In the main, I only drive twice a day for 1.3 miles each way. Should I keep the Lexus IS 2.5 V6 petrol or swap to a small petrol car, or even a hybrid like the Toyota Yaris?

Impressive real-world range from the Leaf E+. Fairly spacious cabin. Should be reliable. Decent value for money.
