Replacement for Citroen Berlingo?

I love my 2005 Citroen Berlingo, it has done everything I need. Now it is showing signs of age and I wonder if there is an electric alternative. Boot size is crucial, just for going to the tip and sleeping. Every car seems to be getting wider and wider and we live in Devon with narrow lanes, so something narrower would be good, and no pinging when you meet a blade of grass.

The latest Citroen Berlingo is now electric-only, although it'll be quite a lot bigger than your 2005 model so might not be ideal for Devon country lanes. As an alternative, we'd recommend an MG 5 EV - it's one of the few electric estate cars on the market and represents very good value for money. You could also look at a hybrid alternative like the very versatile Honda Jazz.
