Hi all,
With the cost of petrol not set to drop I am really considering trading in my petrol Karoq for a plug in hybrid? (not ness a Karoq as I don't think these are available).
I currently have a 1L Auto Karoq TSI and do about 4000 miles a year mainly short urban journeys less than 20mins (shopping, school run etc) and I am lucky to be getting 28 MPG and just seem to be spending so much on petrol.
Has anyone had experience of a plug in hybrid i.e. is the overall costs that much different when you weigh everything up such as charging point installation, overall running costs/servicing etc?
Any advice or shared experiences appreciated
Plug in hybrid - worth it or not?
No personal experience but there's a PHEV economy calculator here https://www.omnicalculator.com/ecology/phev-economy
If you take something like the Kia Sportage the PHEV is around £6k more expensive than the petrol equivalent. Also a PHEV could well be over £40k so you'll be hit with an extra £390/yr road tax! (albeit only for 5yrs).
Don't forget possible increased insurance costs for PHEVs
