Only done 13,000km in a year?
Sounds like perfect use for an EV.

It works perfect for us.
It's my wife's car, she drives to and from the shops, to and from her work 6 times a week.
It is being charged by our solar panels when we have a surplus.

Hi,
   Probably the same as ICE vehicles unable to get fuel from the electrical bowser, unless they have a workaround.

Coping quite well by all accounts.
No where to go, nothing is open, so don't need to drive anywhere.
The cars have vehicle to load capability and more battery capacity than you need, so many are using the car as a silent substitute for a generator and running essential appliances from the car.

Just got a message that the missus Corolla Cross hybrid has arrived after a year on order and get ready to pay the balance of the RRP. She only does around 12k a year so like the 4 year old KIA under 50k it will go then too for whatever suits at the time. With the diesel fourby for towing and playing I'm not averse to an EV that would do fine as an urban shopping trolley but like many new car buyers I don't want some johnny come lately Chinese spy car with no backup-

Besides there's always the promise of the 1000km range 10 minute refuel solid state yada yada battery just around the corner and when a carmaker like Toyota put one out I might be interested.
