Sorry to hear about Linda. I would happily give up cars, but where we live it would be difficult to get around. I have not been driving much recently though. Cars just eat money. I would like my next one to be electric, but it will depend on how much I am likely to use it. That could be a good option in London if you pay less tolls, but charging can be an issue depending on where you live.
I did analyzed electric cars, but the infrastructure in UK is not ready. Also as I paid upfront an electric car was way to much over my budget. Hopefully in the future they will get more affordable
