I have found that I’m often wishing the PHEV has a longer EV range, or that EV mode will engage instead of the engine (short trips in cold weather means the engine is on for 80% of the time). This strongly suggests that for any journey beyond where the purpose is purely for the fun of driving (my Mini) an EV would be very suitable.
Knowing what I know now and on the assumption I wouldn’t pay £7k AP for a PHEV, but still wanted to try one, Without a doubt, I would have gone for the 2025 MG HS PHEV (75 miles). My own BMW 220d Gran Coupe isn’t exactly fun, however I’m looking to upgrade to something more practical and decided, I will then leave the scheme.
Wouldn’t mind a Countryman JCW though!
