    It’s not a plugin.

    The eTSI with mild hybrid technology is a significant new feature. A starter-alternator provides extra assistance for the engine when starting off and at low speeds. The lithium-ion batteries are charged under braking and while coasting. This achieves a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
    The gte is a plugin, but not on the scheme, as that starts at over £35k
