Everything you need to know about plug-in hybrid vehicles, the differences to other types of car and more.
Charge more frequently
Charging every day will help you to get the most enjoyment from the electric capability of your car.
A smooth drive
As with a conventional car, where and how you drive affects your range. Your plug-in hybrid will be more efficient on with smooth driving or on the motorway.
Regenerative Braking
Capturing the kinetic energy from braking recharges the battery and intuitively slows the car whenever you lift off the accelerator.
Outside temperature
Be aware that the weather can affect the range of your vehicle and it may need charging more often in cold temperatures.
