Yeah. Around 70 miles of EV range and then it's topped up by a petrol generator like Toyota non-plug in hybrids.
Hybrids can fuck right off.

36.7mpg when the battery is flat

A PHEV is good for lots of folks.
It would suit me. When we use the car it’s a short bop to the tip or to parents 15 miles away, for which electric is great, or it’s a holiday to Europe or Scotland or The Lakes for which electric would be tricky.
ETA: I don’t have one, I’m too tight.

In your opinion.
My hybrid works pretty fucking well for me.
1) It's absolutely tiny
2) It only seats 2 because that's all I need to carry
3) It does a minimum of around 60mpg around town and well in excess of 80mpg on a run
4) Until recently it was officially the most fuel-efficient production car (and it probably still is because the article above is correct). Mine actually does mpg way in excess of what the manufacturer claimed it would
5) It doesn't rust
6) Lifetime emissions (on a cradle to grave LCA) are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than current EVs are. On paper, the only EVs that come out better are the older small EVs like the Leaf and Zoe -

Toyota non plug in hybrids are self charging hybrids.They also have Otto cycle engines which because of the cv gearbox always runs at the most efficient rpm, sometimes it powered the wheels and charges the battery, and lots of other tricks with air con etc.
My RAV4 petrol hybrid will do 55-60 mpg across London compared my Skoda Superb diesel which did under 40mpg.
The Toyota was the best solution when I got it 4 years ago.

I had no idea that the black LEVC cabs are hybrids, not fully electric until I saw the exhaust coming out of them in the recent cold weather. So lame
They make very little to no mention of this on the LEVC website
