Oh, I see!  Silly me.   :-D

Would you care to make a recommendation?  I'm open to suggestions.

I know.  Weird, right?

Just taken delivery (a week ago) of a Hyundai Kona, full electric.  Of
all the cars I tried (admittedly, not *that* many), it was the only one
I felt comfortable driving.  Plus, the higher capacity battery model has
a reasonable range.  Which, oddly, worries the missus more than it does
me - I don't really have range anxiety as most of my journeys are sub 20
miles round trip.  Work is only 5 miles away, for example.
