Are you preparing to buy an electric car yet?

With the proposed phasing out of fossil fuel powered transport, how much thought have you put into what you will be driving in the run up to the phasing out?

Not quite. First I don't have the money. Second my work is 40k away (although they do have chargers for electrical cars at my work)

@JimboSaturn 40km is less than 20% of the range of my, in EV terms, old Model S. Even the much more reasonably priced 39 kWh Kia e-Niro has a range of 180 miles or 290 km. And a 2 kW charger (230 V, 9 A) adds close to 10 km per hour for my model S, more than 15 for the e-Niro. So it would easily replace the charge used for the entire round trip. And that charging rate is pretty much the lowest that is ever available.
