I am due to order in October myself and was 100% going electric but the bigger range, nicer spec cars are all too much AP for us (£1499 AP spent for our ZR-V in Jan 24 was the most we ever spent by far) and so I started looking at PHEVS. What do you think of the geely starray? Quite a big electric only range and only £2000 for the top spec. That’s my thinking at the moment. I saw one today near me and I thought it had quite a good presence.
I have a Tucson PHEV. If the majority of your journeys are within electric range it can work out cheap motoring, especially with a 2 rate EV tariff like Octopus Go and charge overnight. As an example, I do 400 miles a month taking daughter to school excluding running about and its costing me £15, which works out much cheaper than petrol, but not as cheap as running an EV. I wouldn’t have another Tucson though, because of th crap electric range and crap hybrid mpg on a run compared to its rivals including those from China.
Your best bet is test drive the Starray and judge for yourself. The BYD Sealion 5 is a similar car, that may be worth a look.
Also remember, you get a free charger if you go EV, but not PHEV, although you can use the granny charger that come with car.
