[QUOTE="rollestonpark, post: 7211595, member: 76444"] I can't get my head around the mitsubushi outlander PHEV. A friend had one and said it was stupid... (other hybrids may be also like this) (he sold it after about 4/5 months) Bare with me a minute... In winter (or any other cold day for that matter), the cabin is cold and the windscreen fogs up. So he turns on the heaters to get warm and unfog windscreen. In order to get heat, the engine starts up. Well if the engine needs to run to get heat, you might as well use it to drive, yes? So whats the point of the electric bit? So lets say you contine to drive on electric with the engine running, the cabin takes a long time to get warm, because the engine is only ticking over and not working. I like EVs, I run a new shape nissan leaf and think it's great. but the hybrid thing... I don't get it. [/QUOTE]
