Not long ago, you’d be thought eccentric,

If you chose to buy a full electric,

But internal combustion’s had its day;

That’s what the men in the showrooms now say.

It cruises at speed, with no CO2,

For years after purchase it runs like new;

And plugging it in is no longer naff,

As you relax in the motorway caff.

Green credentials are part of its appeal;

You’re an eco-warrior at the wheel.

But deep in your mind, there’s a nagging doubt;

What if, one day, the battery runs out?

Because you didn’t check, or through bad luck,

You could be on the road at night and stuck.

So though you would impress society,

You’ve ended up with range anxiety!
