Fair enough, I wasn’t aware that Toyota had this edge - but aren’t most new cars more efficient than their older equivalents? And if there is spare energy to charge a battery, would it not actually be more efficient to just run the efficient engine on its own?
I’m interested and willing to be persuaded, as our life at the moment includes some fairly frequent longer trips to see elderly parents where time is at a premium and not having to stop and charge would be a great help. We are currently using a petrol car for most of those trips.
