Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Best HEV or PHEV

My wife has had one knee replaced in March & another is planned in Q3. She wants to go hybrid but not MG given our 5 month tale of woe on my ZS EV.

She currently has a manual VW Polo & wants something of a similar size. Can anyone recommend a suitable car please.

how about the new PHEV Ford Transit Connect van 😂 (short wheelbase) I get 53 mpg without plugging it in (I never plug it in) Great leg room, and it even comes with rear seats plus a bulkhead that folds up into the cabin to give you a much larger load area.
Perfect for collecting building materials if you’re into DIY. Easy to get in and out and it’s even exempt from congestion charges too (well, it is in Oxford anyway)

What’s not to like?

Cheers guys. She has range anxiety I don't. The MG may have a software server issue but is cheap to run & great fun. To me the HEV route is a complex solution but I know my place.

Ive got a Smart EQ Fortwo which has a 17.6kW battery that costs me £1.18 to fully charge and gives me 100 miles of range this time of year if driven with some anticipation and the higher brake regen switched on.

Whilst some people take the p... out of the car it gets used more frequently than any other car we have as it is absolutely the right tool for the job for any local trips.

With the price of petrol running at about £7/gallon it gives me the cost equivalent of about 590mpg which is a bit hard to ignore.
