Listen to the story and answer the questions →Martin's old car broke down again last week, and he has to decide what to buy next. His sister thinks he should buy an electric car. "It's better for the environment, and you won't have to pay for petrol," she said.
Martin isn't so sure. Electric cars are still more expensive, and he often drives long distances to visit his parents. "If there aren't enough charging stations on the motorway, I'll get stuck," he told her.
In the end, he decided to rent an electric car for a weekend before making a decision. The trip went better than he expected: he found chargers easily, and the car was quiet and comfortable. Now he is saving money, and he thinks he will buy one next spring.
