    I might as well stop making light hearted comments on here. There’s always someone who wants to be needlessly defensive.

    It is important that such comments and senses of humour continue in what is becoming an increasingly political correct world.

    Returning to thread, PHEV´s in my view only make sense if they are used for short journeys, in many cases once the car shifts to petrol mode, consumption is high. EV´s make more sense if a home charger can be fitted and for those who rarely do more than 250 miles in a day, and, depending on the AP could make economic sense.  For the typical sales rep, 20000 plus miles pa, electric is not there yet, but I have a feeling in a couple of years we will see ranges pushing 500 miles. There is scope for manufacturers to discount, evident by the price reductions seen since the lowering of the price cap by the government.
