    You are probably better breaking down into daily distances, plus outliers, i.e. If you do Cork to Belfast once a month to visit the inlaws.

    Total mileage is a bit irrelevant

    What’s your standard average distance, commute to work, dropping off kids etc. Any regular long drives you need to do?

    Do you own a house? Have you a driveway?

    All cars with a a battery have regeneration, there's no such thing as self charging or you wouldn't need an petrol engine or a plug....

    15000kms a year so~300km a week. Say a five day week that's only 60km a day. Definitely be looking at full EV rather than a half-arsed hybrid.
