That is well within the range of the majority of EV's so you would be able to do it in an EV also.

There is also the need to exercise something that we all do without even realising, which is to buy intelligently. If a person lives out in the sticks, 75 miles from the nearest civilisation, then buy an EV with a 200+ mile range. Equally, if you are living on the outskirts of Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds...then something with a 50 mile range will satisfy 99.99% of travel requirements. It is all about buying intelligently.
