So. A Hybrid car is roughly £10K cheaper than a full EV of the same spec / model.
Think about that for a second.
A car that has two different types of engines, all the ludicrous number of moving parts of an infernal combustion engine AND the batteries, electric motor and management system of an EV is cheaper than a car without all those extra parts.
Tell me again how the oil companies are not incentivising car manufacturers to keep producing petrol and diesel cars. #EV #Hybrid
Ordinary Wax.
