Yes I believe so because we rarely use the Ampera as an EV beyond the range of Plymouth (5 miles) but we could do that several times a day so with regular charging at home that will be fine.

I am curious to what the actual mpg figures are when running on petrol (i.e. after the battery is empty). The Ampera returns about 48mpg at normal motorway speeds. I would expect the Mitsu to be slightly worse but not by much.

With rapid charging on a long journey (we all have to pee) you could actually get more electric range.

They are very popular though. People who want an SUV will buy one, I think it's good they now have a choice to buy one that uses lots less petrol. Electrifying the least efficient vehicles (even partial electrification!) actually has the biggest benefit, we should celebrate the day we see an electric hummer!

Totaly agree, every car on the road should at least have a small battery to store regen from braking etc like the old Prius
