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!

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

As she said though, there are other considerations for buyers of any of these cars. I would say number one would be cost, followed closely by where to charge. I would love to have a full electric car that does the mileage I want it to (and I have a driveway for a charger), or has the capability to fast charge when I need to travel further. These cars are to most people not even on their radar. The non fully electric cars in this video are more attractive to 'trying out' the tech than going full hog into electric, when the cost is usually £10 on average more than their lower based fossil fuelled models. A great deal of people don't like change. I would swap my Qashqai for an Ariya in seconds.

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.

@@2buiart I did a search and they reckon about 10 year lifespan. Looking after the battery. Don’t plug your car in at every opportunity - doing so puts unnecessary stress on the battery. Only charge it when required. Try to never let the battery go completely flat - this will damage the battery cells and lower the overall capacity. Aggressive driving is detrimental to battery health - it discharges your battery faster and heats it up too, both will slowly erode the maximum capacity over time. So be careful how many times you show off your EV’s acceleration to your friends. Fast chargers may be convenient, but they can shorten your battery’s lifespan - Level 3 DC fast chargers are great, but they heat up the battery more than a slower home wall charger and regular use can decrease the battery’s total capacity. Porsche recommends that you do not charge the car above 80% when using a fast charger. Keep the battery charged between 20 and 80 percent - Unless you are going on a long trip or need the additional capacity, don’t charge your battery to 100% at every opportunity. Letting the charge go below 20% regularly is also not recommended. Doing this will reduce the total capacity of the battery over time. Some EVs and charging stations allow you to set the charging percentages so you don’t have to worry about overcharging when you don’t need the extra range. If you are planning on storing your electric car for an extended period, leaving it charged to around 50% will help prevent the battery cells from becoming damaged. Extremes in temperature affect the range of an EV, but very hot temperatures will also degrade the battery. That is why it’s best to store your electric car somewhere cool. It will lose a small amount of charge over time but should last for many months before going flat. Just be sure to turn off any unnecessary features that may drain the battery too low and potentially damage it. So that means I only have 60% of the range stated. I have to keep it in a cool place (I don’t have a garage) I normally buy a car that’s 3 years or older and my current one was purchased in March 2011. It’s still going strong. That won’t be the case with an overly expensive EV.

​@@marcandsebe Maybe you should look into Tesla tech. Tesla model 3 warranty "8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period". I see many Tesla gone pass 200k mile without changing batteries.

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!
