1. The power output maximum would be used when accelerating away with your foot to the floor, probably not something you’ll do often unless you’re accelerating on the slip road of a motorway/dual-carriageway.
2. An overnight charge will easily fill the battery on any of the PHEVs available via motability.
3. I think the Mini PHEV has a system that powers all 4 wheels under certain conditions but it’s not a massive car. The batteries in a Kia Niro PHEV eat into the boot space a lot (but it’s not a CVT). Test drive will tell you whether you can live with a CVT.
4. PHEVs on the scheme are expensive at the moment, a couple of years ago I was all set to go for the Kia Niro PHEV & it was around the £1000 mark, then it left the scheme for a while & I was left looking for other options.
5. Oscarmax will hopefully be along to talk about his Outlander.
