but that is an expensive way of getting your e-juice. On long trips, you can either hold that charge until you reach your urban destination, or use your engine to recharge the battery when it is depleted. That way you’ll have up to 60kms of electric driving available every morning. At this stage I probably don’t have to explain the PHEV system, except to remind readers that the best way to use it is with a diligent attitude to plugging in the car when you get home.
