Great to hear that your still above ground Muddy

You have been missed, no milko banter. Mind you, looks like you have a couple of stand-in's with Tim in his minbin and fkarim in his MX90.

I deserted as well, but not for some electrickery doodah, with a washing machine motor. But, I did stay faithfull to Lode Lane

Cheers for now

With my low annual mileage, going PHEV almost sounds silly. I just didn’t want to get another diesel for obvious reasons and wasn’t even sure what would happen with petrol in the next few years. My thinking is, and I may be wrong, that electric and hybrid cars will depreciate less in the coming years.

Now that I have one, I actually feel good about the low carbon footprint and enjoying the fact that I haven’t had to put any fuel in yet. It came with a full tank (70 litres) of petrol and after covering 426 miles there is still a quarter tank remaining. This is despite my driveway getting blocked off due to council’s works in the area so I couldn’t charge it for a week. It ran out of electricity and used only petrol for many short, stop/start journeys in heavy traffic. Not too bad for a big and heavy beast whose engine hasn’t been run in yet. The kind of driving I have mostly been doing since getting this car is exactly what results in the worst mpg and isn’t considered good for diesel engines. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

My main concern with the idea of PHEV’s is the internal combustion engine’s longevity.......... if I am doing a journey longer than the electric range then after leaving the farm lane I live on I warm up the petrol engine the conventional way and switch off the default electric mode otherwise if I welly it in electric mode the cold petrol engine will cut in at the right rpm to accelerate away from the speed I was doing in electric mode ( the Countryman will let you drive in electric mode up to 82mph!) and to start the engine straight away at 3000/4000 rpm cannot be very good for it either mechanically or thermally. What has surprised me with the Countryman is just how smooth and quiet the little 1.5ltr three cylinder engine is, at high revs it has a nice throaty roar but it isn’t intrusive at all and at low revs in petrol mode it is quieter and smoother than any Sport I have owned, it is so quiet and smooth sometimes I think it has dropped back into electric only mode! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Its so good I'm afraid to change it with my luck

3rd service due in September 2019 then I will have to decide if I'm paying for service 4 or swapping before - lossing free ved on any replacement is main issue especially with another 2 years warranty remaining

I just noted the last 3 posts above mine.

I wonder why owners of these electric cars don't have avatars showing how proud they are of their vehicles

Now I hope we don't get any Peeee taking answers/responses  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

My guess is that we'll all end up down the electric route - its more a question of when rather than if. So its good to hear a bit of an update from you guys who have taken the plunge. So far it sounds encouraging...
My current thinking is that I'll keep my old TDV8 for a bit longer partly because its behaving itself at the moment ( ) but also because it makes sense (to me anyway) to see what you early adopters feel about the chariots you've gone with and also to see what other manufacturers come up with. Also it will be interesting to see what Mini, Mitsi et al do next. Robin

I am waiting for decent increase in EV range before I consider swapping mine - with another 2.5 years left on warranty I'm prepared to wait - this is the longest I've kept a vehicle apart from Swmbos FL1  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

We've got ULEZ coming inside N/South Circular in good old Londinium, in 2 years time. Myself & better half have 4 cars between us, 3 of which will be affected. My RRS 2.7 TDV6 will stay in Wales, we'll get rid of her perfectly good 2004 Rav4 with under 50k miles on it and will also have to likely get rid of my cheap old Euro5 XC70 that I use to go up/down to Wales every other weekend. What a bloody waste if you ask me. We'll keep her 4.2 S/C as that will be exempt

Will then be forced to buy either a newer petrol (what's the point), a PHEV or an electric. Current odds are on something like a Zoe for town and keep the XC70 the other side of the South Circular until such a time as they ban Euro5 inside M25...

Maybe by then there would be a 4x4 electric with a reliable range of over 350 miles. 600 would be nice so that I can still drive to Donegal without an overnight stay.

I'm all for electric but we need a lot more work on infrastructure and vehicle ability before its suitable for someone like me who quite often does long single journeys.

You never asked! The Countryman is a big Mini, has more power than any other Mini (including the “hot” Cooper Works version) thanks to the extra 87 horses from the electric motor plus BMW sorted it to handle like a Mini should despite the extra weight of the battery. Not sure about the Outlander or the XC90 but then they, like the Countryman, don’t have Sport in their name and don’t pretend to Sporty either, built more for comfort than on the limit razor sharp handling and i’m Happy with what BMW Mini has blessed it with. Sure it doesn’t handle like an RRS with Dynamic Pack trickery but I never expected to, it’s intended as a city car not a cross country / continent cruiser 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
