What plug in hybrid or electric would you recommend?

I do 30 miles a day to work and back but very little long distance mileage. I have a dog so need reasonable boot space for weekend trips to beach. My current car is a Mercedes C220d. What plug in hybrid or electric would you recommend to suit the above usage?

An electric car sounds ideal if you can charge at home. We'd recommend a Kia Niro EV or Volvo EX30 - they're two versatile small electric SUVs. Alternatively, the MG 5 EV is an electric estate car that represents excellent value for money and is ideal for carrying dogs.
