The last hybrid I had was rubbish. It was the front of an Escort welded onto the back of a Cavalier.
Dagenham..I've heard that said specifically about the Auris. That no-one ever gets close to the Toyota claim for mpg. Not heard anyone say that about a Prius.
Depends on whether you are buying new or used I guess.Hybrids are a transition tech, for people with range anxiety.The new battery range is much higher than 5 years ago, so I would expect hybrids to fade away in the near future.Trouble is the second hand market only gives the older models with more limited range.Prices are likely to fall quite quickly going forwards, but new at the moment is relatively expensive.Against that, the running cost per mile is much lower than petrol.....even better if you have solar panels on the house.https://www.greencarguide.co.uk/You could try leasing, if that works for you.Try before you buy, like Rovers with the loans!
Your Leccy utility will have a scheme to subsidise an electric charger on your property, if you have a drive for example.On street parkers will be charging up at rapid chargers, which are springing up at leisure centres and supermarkets etc.Rovers would be a good place to charge up, once set up.Zap Map has the up to date charging info;https://www.zap-map.com/It is changing very quickly.
