HOW DO PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS WORK?

Plug-in hybrid cars are run by two power sources: a conventional fuel-powered engine and an electric motor that’s driven by a battery – which can be charged up either at home or a public charging station. This gives you the choice to drive in pure electric mode for those shorter journeys, before seamlessly switching to the combustion engine when required – driving exactly as your usual fuel-powered car would.

These figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. Battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Figures shown are for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.

FAQs.

If you want to experience electric driving but aren’t ready to commit to an all-electric car, you should consider buying a plug-in hybrid. Offering the best of both worlds, they provide many of the benefits of an all-electric car – including reduced running costs, instant torque and easier maintenance – while giving you the flexibility and reliability of a fuel-powered engine on those longer drives.
Plug-in hybrid cars combine a combustion engine with an electric motor – which is run by a rechargeable battery. This battery is smaller than that of an all-electric car and can charged using a regular household socket or at a public charging station. If you ever run out of charge, you can simply drive using just engine power.
As of 2021, most hybrid cars no longer qualify for the London congestion charge discount. To avoid paying this charge, you will have to opt for a zero-emission all-electric car.
Yes, you will still have to pay road tax on your plug-in hybrid car. However, the lower CO2 outputs mean they are often eligible for reduced rates when compared to a standard petrol or diesel vehicle.
Since filling up with petrol can be more expensive than charging up the battery, you could save on running costs during your ownership.
