Help to convince my partner to switch to an EV

I believe an electric vehicle would be absolutely perfect for us. Most days motoring consist of multiple 10-20 minute trips urban very little of it above 30mph. The odd motorway trip of 1-2hrs at most every few weeks. 6 -7,000 a year total miles. We have a drive, aren’t on a looped supply and have a 100 amp main fuse so getting a charger should be easier. We even have outside sockets so can trickle charge for a month or two if required.

After 20 years of driving various manual diesels that’s the normal car in her head. She also seems to associate automatic cars with slow cars old people would drive and doesn’t like them. Have tried to explain the instant torque, one foot driving, regenerative brakes but not making any progress.

Looking at Cupra Borns, ID4’s similar so not exactly basic slow car.

So any real world experiences from switching or advice to help me convince her?
