Use case opinions

I'm looking at purchasing a new vehicle due to outgrowing our existing 2011 Hyundai i30.

Have 2 children ages 1 and 4, currently do low km, around 5000km/yr. Have offstreet parking but are likely to convert our garage into a bedroom (within 5 years) as one of our kids bedrooms is nicknamed the Harry Potter bedroom.

We are inner suburbs with 3 nearby shopping centres each with chargers, as well as a handfull of other nearby charging options.

Our vehicle use is typically a weekend run around to shops/sports and the occasional weekend away. We will drive Melbourne to Adelaide return around once per year. We both work white collar in the CBD and catch PT there M-F. Weekend camping trips will hopefully be in our near future.

Tossing up between an ev (Geely ex5 or similar) or a hybrid (Subaru Forester Hybrid or similar). With street parking only in our near future I'm interested in your opinions in whether the ev or the hybrid is the way to go.

TL;DR - EV or Hybrid with low yearly km, parking on street and good public charging available
