@glynmoody Makes a lot of sense. I'd been vaguely toying with the idea of trading in my PHEV for a proper EV for a while, but the Iran war gave me the kick up the backside that I needed to actually do something about it, and I got an EV earlier this month.

I would have been amazed if I were the only one to have thought like that.
