This oil crisis was a huge boon for EVs. In Brazil, despite the "hate" most people have against EVs, BYD went from breaking into the top 10 in March to taking the #1 spot in consumer sales for the first time ever.

#15I am so confused by the categorisation of cars: BEV, HEV, PHEV and so on. I think the industry insiders who write some of these articles don't realise how hard it is for some of their readers to keep track.
There is also MHEV
"Mild" hybrid electric vehicle which is just using a oversized starter to break and then drive any accessories instead of the motor.

#18Doesn’t increasing fuel price affect the electricity prices, which increases the charging cost?

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Must heve"?
"Mild Hybrid". Slight boost. I don't know of any on the market, but I'm sure they're there.
Ford Puma [1] is available as a mild hybrid.

EVs aren’t exactly new; there’s a deep, accessble secondhand market by now. I’ve been using a 2019 Nissan Leaf as a primary family car for two years now, that I picked up off Gumtree for around £3k. It’s been one of the best (little) cars I’ve ever owned.
Not saying new EVs aren’t pricey, but if you want into electric on a budget (i.e. because you don’t feel like you can afford to fill up on diesel) it can absolutely be done.
