I wonder why the PHEV solution doesn't get much love. Eg. Audi A3 tfsi-e. 40m electric range, plus 400m petrol range, 0-60 under 8 seconds, eminentely practical small family car
Filled up with petrol as per normal for long journeys, so no range anxiety No emissions for local journeys - and recharge from solar panels 50% of the year - which for me might cover 75% of my driving Small battery so does not consume much of the earths lithium/graphite etc resources compared to a full EV 10-20% premium over pure petrol version - which does not seem a huge amount to me over say 8 years depreciation (and might be offset against the reduced petrol consumption over the years)
Has anyone got one or something similar ? What's not to love ? (particularly if you also have a Morgan in the garage)
