Laura – if you really had your heart set on the XC40 you could always get the T5 Recharge and just run it on petrol? As with all PHEV’s, they are a bit of a compromise, but it at least gives you the car you want. Apparently most PHEV’s go to company car drivers who get them for the lower company car tax but rarely plug them in! You would still get a tiny bit of electric through the braking regeneration or could even let the petrol engine charge the electric motors, but that’s not very cost efficient. I certainly wouldn’t remotely consider a fully electric car if you can’t charge off road.
