What's the view on PHEV taxis blocking charge points when BEVs need a charge? I arrived at one of the new free to use PodPoint rapids at a Lidl in Bristol having driven from Southampton and was wanting to make the 100-mile return journey. A Leaf taxi was using the Chademo and a Mercedes PHEV...

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV - Drive Green Miles: 79,900 Price: £14,995 This 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the first of it’s kind on the Drive Green forecourt. We had it come in as a PX against a Tesla Model S and due to it’s EV credentials, we decided to put it out on sale. It has a...

I am intrigued by the thought of a pre owned Outlander PHEV, particularly the prospect of being able too use a rapid charger on longer runs. Would prefer to be tax-free and get as long an EV range as possible. What I would people recommend for a sb £22k car?

We have a Kia Optima PHEV Saloon available from our Blackpool Kia dealership. 2018 model with 1 previous owner, and 21,200 miles on the clock. These PHEVs are a great option for people who require the backup of a long-distance hybrid, but who can charge regularly to complete the majority of...

New European emissions limits for cars risk triggering influx of ‘fake electric’ vehicles, green group warns

I bought the car 1 week ago and yesterday I tried to beat the declared electric range ( 45 km ) and got 48 km, quite close... :-) here a video : 225xe

I got this charging cable with my Outlander, but kept it when I sold the Outlander since I thought I might use it with my Kia Soul, but I have only used the cable that came with the Kia so this is surplus to my needs. It has been used a couple of times and shows basically no signs of use. The...

I will shortly be starting a new job in which I will be getting a company vehicle, (probably deisel van). This will mean that I will not need to drive as much too and from work. However I will still need to drive to and from Scotland about twice a year with a 6yo and my wife. This is a 450mile...

Hello everyone, My name is James and I run a site that provides information about electric vehicles to make it easier for people to make that transition to an EV should it be right for them. In order to do this better, I hope to introduce a section which has real owner experiences of what its...

Hi all, We're really keen to expand our used EV and hybrid stock across all 5 of our sites in the North West. We're looking for EV, PHEV, and Hybrid cars, up to 7 years old and less than 60,000 miles. Any marque/model. If you're thinking of handing back to the finance company at the end of...

Recently I've lost electric range in my 2015-Late BMW X5 40e from average 20km to just 8km. When scanned time to time it shows cell module 1,2,3 and 6 faulty and sometime it shows only module 1 is faulty and strange enough sometimes no error!. Therefore I believe it's correct to assume that...

Wanted . Im looking to Buy Outlander Phev, 4H, 5H or any S model with one owner and under 50k miles and 2015 or newer with service history and dealer Battery report printout. Cash buyer near Leeds but will travel. All PMs will be answered.

I have moved to a Niro PHEV from a Leaf 40kwh and I am glad I have done it! I have found the Leaf to be a great car but the worry about the range or lack thereof when I take a longer trip has become tiresome. With my daily commute being 30ish miles I will be driving as an EV 5 days a week but...

Thinking about either of these cars not sure which one to go for any opinions me and or suggestions. Daily commute is 30 miles however do like to venture further afield on days off. Currently driving a Leaf 2.Zero which I am not best pleased with. Also have got a Kona Electric on order delivery...

Can anyone tell me what this yellow warning light by the roof switches means. Yes I've RTFM but it was of no help with this ...

I have a Leaf 40kwh and I am not that impressed with the real world range and the issue with Rapidgate. I was looking at either the PHEV GTE or the eGolf. The reason for this is that I find that the range of the Leaf is only about 130 under normal conditions and between charges on along multi...

For various reasons I’ve had a summer where the vast majority of my driving has been my regular commute and I’ve maximised my use of free public charging with almost no charging at home. As a recap my commute is around 6.5 miles uphill with fast stretches and lots of roundabouts on the way in...

Hi all, been on and off lurkering last couple of years as a Kia Niro HEV driver. Last week moved to a Niro PHEV. Would have loved to gone full EV and almost went for the new Leaf but rapidgate killed that for me. Couldn’t wait for the Kona EV to come etc. Anyway all that is history now and...

I am not 100% sure I am going to sell this car, but I am looking at the possibility of moving this to get a BMW i3. I've only recently purchased this car, but I am finding it quite large and I haven't gotten used to driving quite so large a car. This is the GX4hs model, so near top of the line...
