Oh, I agree that hydrogen would be a much better option - but it, too, is not entirely "green", since power is needed to produce hydrogen. Also, there's no infrastructure - only about half-a-dozen refuelling points in the country - there's only one anywhere near Sheffield and that is semi-private - the operator says:"To use one of hour hydrogen stations, you will need to download, complete and return the application form fuel@itm-power.com before you are issued with a fuel card and receive training" The site also says that a security fob is need to gain access. And only a couple of models to choose from, so the market is pretty well non-existent at present. I'd certainly go for hydrogen over electric but at present it's pretty well impossible.

The is300h 2016 is the best looking car that Lexus has designed - since then the designers seem to have thrown good design out of the window in favour of some computer-game-related idea of a car. The current all-electric offering is unbelievably ugly, so is it at all likely that that wiser heads will prevail and we'll have something that looks rather better. The UX isn't the only example of dreadful design, it applies to the rest of the offering - these blocky front ends are dreadful.

Regarding long distance driving, I've just done Sheffield to Lisbon, via Santander ferry, using Eco mode all the way, and I found the driving very relaxing. The northern Spain and northern Portugal mways are so free of traffic that you can use cruise control all the way. And on the crowded uk mways, with their speed limitation, you just sit back and let the system work out how to use the drive. For the record, Sheffield to Plymouth, 55.7 mpg, Santander to Lisbon and return, 48 mpg (very hilly terrain), and Plymouth to Sheffield 49.6 mpg. Just relax and enjoy the scenery :-)
