After a short access to a Kia Hybrid I realised that my driving style would need changing. I’d need to learn how the EV/ICE linked to get the EV benefits with sensible progress. More to learn than the usual throttle/gear/torque/speed combination for an ICE car.
An extended test period would be nice.
One downside. I am waiting to see if I get a speeding NIP! I used a courtesy hybrid and did a kickdown to speed up a hill. Good surge. As I crested the hill I passed a camera van. I THINK I dropped speed enough ( it was facing the other way). I think down to 33mph as I passed it from about 37. 8 weeks ago. But it can take longer to go through the third party and possible delays from the NIP issue as a result. I think there is a 6 month limit for prosecution. Our local enforcement seem up to speed (pun intended) for issuing NIPS so fingers crossed. An SAC is the likely offer though if caught out.My fault in underestimating the EV power surge!
