I am not convinced that any form of hybrid is the answer.
The self charge seems a waste of time from my experience of driving one. The PHEV has limited E-range but as it has an ICE engine it will need servicing and fail on the emissions zone tests ( I think). The added oomph from the electric system feels nice but for everyday driving?
That narrows things to full EV or ICE.
Full EV is dependant on the charging infrastructure that is not at it’s best so far.
LEZ/ULEZ zoning provides a nice cash cow while the ICE cars predominate. I wonder when the tip over point to cash generation for ICE will be dealt with to replace the current money generation being eroded.
