    It just puts off the emmisions fines for now and we get charged for 2 engines how stupid is that. I was gonna get a corrolla hybrid but then i thought what is the point apart from you can tick some boxes and say i’m a bit greener sometimes. So i went ice again. For me and my life right now it’s just not practical to get an bev or a phev, as no driveway and I do alot of motorway driving.

    If i still lived in london maybe i would get an ev, but i don’t i often drive 280 miles or so and live close to the motorway for that reason. I do the school run as well but that hardly gets the car warm and then the hybrid of  won’t work till the engines warmed up. i heard if so thats real stupid imo. it’s like the emmisions cheat devices. a con imo..
