Have Toyota hybrid. 64mpg average.
Having to give it up as company going EV / PHEV. I'll be going PHEV with no driveway, never charging achieving a measly 30mpg no doubt. Had the option of the EV but can't see how to make it work without a driveway or charging at office ( to which I cycle).
Realise I'm the bad guy in this instance. Asked the council about on street chargers in the future and no reply.

I know someone who works for Sutton and there are supply issues and if your lampposts are concrete they can’t fit them inside.
Lambeth are completely incompetent, they have turned down my dropped kerb because it’s too near a tree but can’t tell me how far away I need to be.
I’ve ordered an EV and am going to chance it.

Councils have no money for statutory obligations. On street charging expansion is a fairly low priority. Wide roll out needs a commercial outfit to install it and make it really easy for the councils.
It also needs to be installed in the roadway, not the footpath, but that's a different problem.

The petrol engine is running at its most efficient but this is producing a bit too much power for the speed so it is also charging the battery which is providing a bit of power to the rear motor because it’s a bit slippery.
Toyota self charge hybrids are doing stuff like this all the time hence the really good fuel economy.
If you don’t believe the engineers try the real world experiment of seeing what Uber drivers use.
