Also, I think the weight aspect is a valid point so long as there's a carbon emissions element to the fuel used to move that weight. I run an Audi A2, which I chose deliberately because it's a Golf-sized car in terms of capacity, but weighs 70% of what the Golf weighs, and is still, c15 years on, one of the lightest cars on the road. I object to burning fuel to move a 1.5-2 tonne car to shift 80Kg of little old me.
But if burning that fuel doesn't create any carbon emissions, I'm not sure I have an ethical problem with that, any more. So weight, in that sense, is not the issue it once was.
Personally, I think my next car will be a plug-in hybrid. I estimate that 80% of my usage will be electric only, and the remainder will be a mix, but having the engine means I'm not dependent on charging infrastructure, so I can make the switch soon, rather than waiting for the charging points to catch up.
