PHEV Emissions Under Estimated 08:33 - Oct 16 with 919 viewsJACKMANANDBOY

Looks like PHEVs have emissions similar to petrol and diesel cars.
If you add in the environmental impacts of scrapping an older car and producing a new PHEV, PHEVs could be worse for the environment, when you consider the whole lifecycle environmental impact, than running a small efficient petrol car?

Doesn't surprise me. PHEV's are heavier than the other hybrid types so will need more power to push them when not on battery power. I am considering hybrid for my next car but won't be going for one of those.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I have a mild hybrid, I drove for an hour today at an average of 28mph, petrol consumption averaged 47 mpg with 8 mpg attributed to to the hybrid system. I have the dashboard display set to capture all the data related to mpg and ' game ' it a bit by coasting downhill and allowing the car to manage it's own braking etc

I've got a smallish petrol SUV which I can get up to 42mpg on a longer trip, around 35-36mpg if I'm mostly city driving.

An average of 47mpg overall would suit me down to the ground and save me a few bob.

Worth doing the research, test driving and being prepared to push for a deal. I usually buy nearly new, but a new one was a better deal with £10K off the list price of £37K. A new model was just being released and the old model needed to cleared out of stock.

Toyota looking to introduce solid state batteries from 2027 and a new narrative from the Guardian, do we need cars at all?

As per usual the Guardian lives in cloud cuckoo land. The overwhelming majority of people who currently use their car a lot will not voluntarily surrender the option. I use buses as rarely as possible. In terms of cost and convenience it's cheaper to drive. The only option they have is to price people out of their cars onto unreliable public transport. An option in major urban areas, a joke everywhere else.

If the Toyota battery can guarantee me 350 miles on a single charge and recharge from 10% to 100% in ten minutes I'll consider going full electric.

Reports of 750 mile range with 10 minutes to charge, less weight but prices are likely to be high to start with.
