Thread: Hybrid vs petrol - surprising outcome

That's a pretty empirical test. Well done.

Battery technology is just not there yet. Several iterations away from being factually useful/useable and non/less toxic and value for money with no plummeting devaluation.

ICE tech has had over one hundred years to develop and refine. Its pretty damn good right now, as evidenced by your data.

Those PHEV battery weights are shocking. That's equivalent to carting around 5 of your fat mates all day, every day, in the back of your car, all for little return.

Geoff buys cars on YT did a test, using a 10 year old ICE diesel beemer and a new flash Brit Marque of a EV (volvo/Jag, something like that). Went from one end of the UK to the other. Cause the EV used fast chargers everywhere (to try and arrive at roughly the same time as the diesel), the actual costs for electricty were higher than the costs of diesel
