Is it a good time to go all-electric?
My wife and I have a Toyota Yaris hybrid, mostly used locally. I have up to £15,000 plus part exchange and would like to go all electric. With Covid and limited driving options, changing cars may be madness or a time to get a bargain if there are still grants. Your advice would be appreciated.

There's a lot of pent-up demand at the moment and car dealers can't get cars quick enough so bargains are few and far between, unfortunately. That said, there are grants available to make electric cars more affordable - and you'll save money on tax and fuel, too. We'd recommend the new Peugeot e-208. It's a really good little electric car with an official range of up to 217 miles.

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.
