I think the big question for @missingsound7 is based around the likelyhood of the council allowing a driveway and his willingness to use one of the alternative methods mentioned in my previous comment in the mean time or on a regular basis if it comes to to it.
Another point to consider, is the AP of the PHEV, is a grand less, when compared to the Hybrid. Depending on your driving and your journeys, would the lower AP allow you offset the potentially higher running costs of not charging. This I don’t know as you haven’t mentioned how you drive or where your journeys take you?
Another point to mention with PHEV, is it’s an evil of two worlds and doesn’t particular excell at either of them, especially if you are unable to charge one. To expand, you are limited to range compared to EV and they are far from as practical to charge on the go. On longer journeys they are less practical, as a Hybrid or even ICE, due to the added dead weight you are carrying around. A PHEV is only really practical, if the majority of journeys are within or 20-30 miles outside the battery range, as you can easily offset the higher costs of longer journeys.
I charge every day to every 3 days depending where I’m going. Most days I’m taking my daugher to and from school and calling the shops or going into town. This is well within the range of the battery and if, I’m only taking my daughter to and from 17 miles, the battery will last two days and may get her to school the next day. Other days I may cover 50 miles meaning my running costs are minimal and will easily offset my once a month 320 – 400 mile round trip visiting family for a weekend. If I couldn’t charge at home, I doubt very much, I would have picked PHEV over Hybrid. I didn’t want EV.
