Sorry, but with that level of range and performance you might as well buy yourself a vintage milk float. There is nothing wrong with an "normal" Austin Seven if it has been properly fettled. Most of them have been giving Sterling Service for over 80 years and will probably continue to do so for many more to come, and all this hype about petrol ceasing to be available is complete cobblers.
Even with today's level of EV technology the plug-in pure electric car has still got a long way to go before it is capable of replacing fossil fuel. They will remain expensive short-haul options, providing you can guarantee a recharging hook-up wherever you may be. I'm still waiting for someone to show me how I can do a run from here to Stuttgart in an EV (it's 900km one-way) without (a) an overnight stop and (b) running out of charge somewhere near Pforzheim...
I can do it in 9hrs on 3/4 tank in my 20yr old Diesel Merc... just saying.
