None of the things you mention are mutually exclusive. They all combine very nicely.

Excellent. Then I will continue running my cheap ICE, avoiding the cost and environmental damage associated with an EV, all while cycling to work and other destinations as much as possible.

That's just not an argument that works. You could cut your emissions down even more by using an electric vehicle.

Why would I do that? I've already made significant choices about the way I have arranged my life, so that I am not reliant on a car. I have already more than exceeded any CO2 reduction that an EV would provide over it's life, and have done so without lining the pockets of automobile manufacturers and mining companies, as well as avoided extra environmental pollution. I have also done all this without needing to deal with all the downsides of an EV.

I take it you have electric heating and hot water at your house?
