I commute 80 miles a day - should I buy an EV?
I am confused about which "green" car I should buy. I have a budget of £10k max and need to commute 40 miles each way without a charging point in my school.

I think you'll struggle to find an electric car for £10k that'll comfortably cover 80 miles from a charge. A hybrid would be a better option - take a look at the Toyota Yaris 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.

Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
