PHEVs are not THE answer! Ep 245

All Episodes

August 25, 2022 • 35 mins

New hybrid and 100 per cent EV models are arriving in the Aussie market by the bucket load. Great for city-dwellers, but if you're a rural driver you might be feeling as if this brave new world is passing you by. Could the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle offer the best of both worlds, with enough battery power to allow meaningful zero-emissions driving around town, as well as extended road-trip range, with easy, rapid refuelling and a combustion engine? Or is it an EV dead-end that looks good in theory but is a waste of time in reality? Join the debate! We'll also cover 'This Week in News' - the breaking stories you need to know about (Toyota Tundra for Oz, Audi ute, BYD under fire), and we give you a rundown on the fresh metal we've been driving this week, in 'Cars in the Garage'.
