• isn't a hybrid basically like charging your car from a petrol generator? Its just the same fossil fuel going in? I heard those Lexus ones had a hilariously low mpg.

  • I have a RAV4 hybrid that does 58mpg in London, it's a fantastically clever thing engineered as a whole to scavenge wasted energy.

    Some Hybrids are just an electric motor bolted to the back of a the gearbox.

  • I really like the look of these a lot and would strongly consider one as my next car. I've managed to get away from diesel with my last buy (although not exactly efficient) and I think my next purchase will definitely be petrol/hybrid if not fully electric depending on range requirements when the time comes.

    On my Pug 3008 hybrid they just whacked an electric transaxle in the back and kept the entire front drivetrain from a 2.0HDi, with a French brain to control it all. Genius or what?
