The fuel consumption stated applies when you drive in hybrid mode, not when you drive in electric mode, and they want to calculate that you drive approx. 60% in the city. and the purpose is that it should consume the least amount of fuel, where ordinary petrol cars and diesel cars consume the most fuel, i.e. City driving

The economic case for PHEV (and electric) vehicles in no longer there. These vehicles can be £20k+ more than their ICE equivalents, so attract a higher vehicle tax of £510pa. Unless you are on an existing home charging deal, charging per kWh is 34p, so if the vehicle returns 35mpg, after electric range exhausted, fuel costs are similar to ICE cars. Since PHEV's are heavy, their fuel economy, when not on electric, is usually poor. Their manufacturing footprint is often far from green and since they have two drive trains, maintenance is more complex/expensive. They may fill a short-term gap, as the UK slowly catches up with it's EV charging infrastructure, but almost all support and incentives to move towards a reliable and cost-effective EV infrastructure have been removed. The UK is not investing or encouraging drivers to meet its UK 2025 EV targets, so fuel efficient ICE vehicles are still more affordable. Sadly, I fear the UK has lost its way on a cohesive and realistic EV strategy. You need lots of money to have a green conscious.

All production whether gas or electric makes a carbon footprint. Batteries can be recycled several times reclaiming rare/expensive metals. Gasoline burns once. Plus gas engine only 25% efficient. So 75% drilling, pumping, refining, and transport are wasted to pollution as oil is so cheap. Electric motors 85% efficient. Only 15% of energy wasted. Grid cleaner everyday especially if power came from wind and solar only. Plus no oil filters in land fills every 5000 miles.

I have always had my doubts about hybrids in general, and looking at the price of most of these they are pretty much outside my budget. My main gripe is that you have the worst of both worlds. You still have all the expenses of a petrol engine, and additionally the cost and weight of an electric battery and motor to tug along. I recently lost my wife of 55 years and have been considering buying a full electric car. But, and here the problems begin. If I buy an apartment instead of the bungalow I have now, where do I charge it? Unless you can find an apartment with attached garage (with power point) then the EV is a no go. Ideally something the size and type would be a T cross or similar. Much easier to get in and out of for an older person. Unless someone has a real world solution I will probably end up with an MG4. not the ideal size or type but more buyable with a lengthy warranty, and stay where I am.
@bertgroeneveld57
Жыл бұрын
Fully agree. We have the same problem. Would like to drive electric, but no charging devises in our apartment building as for now (nor will there be in the near future so say the local government) Apart from this, in The Netherlands we also have to deal with extremely high taxes on cars (called BPM) which make cars here vert expensive, especially hybrides and plug in hybrides. Not to speak of electric which are even more expensive. Over 30 % of taxes one pays over the normal price of a car. Next to that you pay monthly "road taxes"

I think you go HEV, you never have to charge it but the power does recharge from braking. Charging isn’t convenient… did you know Edison and Ford tested an EV in the late 1910’s?? Over 100 years ago, and gas is still a much better option. Takes less than 5 minutes to fill up. BMW is putting in 48V batteries in all their cars now as well as Scrolling Turbos to make them more efficient. So even a car with 500 hp can give you great fuel economy.

Yeah the Rav4 Prime and the Lexus NX450+ are the same underpinnings. Drove a Lexus 450+ and it was a lovely cabin and great onboard tech. The main negative things for me were the CVT gearbox - that drone if you were accelerating hard (but I understand that this is only a tiny part of the driving time) and also the boot (trunk) seemed small. So in the Lexus dealer and I walk over and look at the Rav4 interior... no comparison. Not in the same league as the Lexus (of course) or BMW/Audi/Mercedes OR Mazda CX-60 (and I had one but had an unfortunate experience with it) The Rav4 interior is just a let down sad experience. @@Libanass

It's still got the CVT 'issue' - my personal perception but there you go. I do appreciate the Lexus / Toyota reliability and their 10 year warranty (or 100k miles) if you get them serviced with them every year but not enough to make me compromise on the driving experience. Got a Volvo XC60 T8 Ultimate for less than an NX450+ in a Volvo sales event with 3 years free servicing. I'll take that servicing money and put it into an extended warranty. The Rav4 , for me, was just not a nice enough environment - The Mazda CX-60 beats it hands down, but I had issues with that car which was a shame as I really liked it.@@Libanass

Only person to pointed out the VED implication of that extra £355 per year for 5 years after the first year. This means that any offset of using the battery v petrol makes zero financial sense, what is the point of thinking about being "greener" if there is no benefit for you and you can save £10k with an ICE car? I do have a hybrid and it is great, not the VED though but my previous 2ltr Diesel made more sense until I had the option of working from home more and doing shorter trips where the hybrid works far better, which is why I changed. But the difference between the 2 was £9k new and better fuel consumption on the derv, but it needed long motorway journeys to regen. I am now thinking of just going petrol, far cheaper to buy, £165 VED, similar fuel economy, less power (130 v 300) and 2wd. So will a PHEV work for you? If you do less than 40 miles per day, can afford £1k for a charging box to be installed at your home, don't mind paying over 500 quid in VED for 5 years and not bothered by having zero incentive for even thinking about being green but still do the odd long drive, then it is right up your street, for anything else, just buy petrol.

Also range is not 46 miles and only get around 35 and can hear engine kick in regularly so don’t think get even 35 miles range. If it was not a company car I would rather kept old none plug in.
