Do they?
How would you know that?
Mrs H is a good example - she runs an Alfa 156 Sportwagon, but has only done a single journey in the last 12 months that couldn't have been covered in a Leaf, for example.
Now, I'm not saying she should go and buy a Leaf, and she wouldn't, as she's a bit of a petrol head - but there are many more people out there who work just a few miles from home and / or only do a short school and shopping run who could quite easily have an EV only car.
Which is slightly helpful, but still means almost all old engines are significantly worse than newer ones.
You're saying that it's a good idea to pay £38000 for a car that will be used for one journey of less than 50 miles each way in a year?
A 6.1 Litre Chrysler 300C would make as much sense for that journey.
Hmm, but renting is not an instant decision. You need to look up a reasonable hire company, find & book the hire car and pick it up from somewhere. You cannot just drive off in the sunset on short notice...
