    Yep, Glos Guy is correct. All the cars you list are mild hybrids and therefore have no ability to run solely on electric power alone, even for half a mile.

    The 48v label on the Fiat 600 gives it away. Mild hybrids have a beefier battery to aid stop/start and a smoother take off from stationary.

    They have no real effect on overall economy but are probably a little easier on fuel on urban journeys than a full petrol equivalent.

    About as much use as a chocolate teapot actually. I think the search engine is probably correct.

    The clue is not in the title I’m afraid.

    You need to be looking for “full hybrid” or “self charging hybrid”
