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.
