We recently bought a XC90 T8, which is a 'twin engined hybrid. Not had it long, but so far it has been decent.
It only has an electrical range of c23 miles, but that covers all the miles we do domestically.
For my work commute it is a different story as that is 100 miles return; however with both power sources working consecutively I get c45/48 mpg over that journey if I charge at the office. Broadly speaking it achieves similar mpg as my previous diesel.
There is no way I would buy a full electric, as the range is too low even at 300 miles...I would not be happy taking a 40 min break on my way to the second home in Cumbria even if you could find a empty charger.
Still I expect the rebuild of the countries finances and how people will reevaluate their own working/commuting lives will have a far larger impact on pollution that people swapping cars out.
Apologies in advance for the rant...
Cumbria is full of second home owners at the moment. Hope it's not you, but everyone seems to think they're an exception to the rules at the moment...
I'm a pretty broad minded person, but I currently feel trapped in my own locality because of the (substantial) influx of people who I'm desperately trying to avoid.
I don't mean to sound grouchy, but as somebody who chose to live in a rural area (having grown up in the same village for 35 years) away from much of the population, I've had enough of people deciding to descend on the Lake District National Park.
Again, apologies for the rant, this isn't directed at you, but reference to holiday homes at the moment is a flash point for me.
