Not all hybrids are created equal.
Toyota>> Hyundai/Kia, Ford, Honda>> Peugeot/Citroen, Volvo>> VW>> BMW, Audi, Mercedes

This must be hammered out.

Fact:

I owned ALL (full ev, full hybrid & PHEV), and today until 2030, I'll choose and recommend PHEV, then from 2031 - onward it will be full EV.

Have a great day to y'all!

The most concern for anyone buying a full EV, is the lifespan of the battery. If I look at my mobile phone, my battery is down to 95% in less than a year. I was told that batteries only last about 8 years in EV. New batteries can cost £16, 000 or more. That’s an awful lot of money. My current vehicle is 16 years old and still going strong and doesn’t owe me anything now. EV cars seem very expensive and short lived.

There is no discussion, Full EV is the only way. Not only financially but more important environmentally. If Cleeverly motors mobile mechanics can travel the country in a full EV servicing EV cars purely on the charging infrastructure then most people can

You’ve missed one massive point; taxation of you’re a company car driver, you’ll take a right spanking if you’re in anything other than a full EV. This is typical misinformation. I’d take this video down and re-do it if i were you!
