The future is electric………….

Personally, I would legislate hybrids off the road and get serious about charging infrastructure – that is if the industry is sure it can sustain battery manufacture.  (there are still questions marks over the long term future production of batteries at this time)



Buy hybrid – in my humble opinion – is daft.  You got two or more engines.  You got two fuels cells.  In other words, you end of wasting a shit load of energy in manufacturing creating the darm thing – and everywhere you go you are lugging your seriously overweight car.  Add in to that often poor passenger space and poor boot space.


It’s a bit like re-using your plastic bags.  Which is good.  And there is arguably good aspects to hybrid.  But really, hybrid cars, like reusable plastic bags – allow us, and in this case the car industry too, to think we are “saving the planet” (how I hate that fuckin term) or “doing our bit” when frankly we are doing nothing of the sort.


Hybrids should have been banned before they even got off the car lot. :lol (VNA's personal opinion)



Quote:I for one will be looking at a hybrid for my next car. More than likely the Hyundai Tuscon 48V.
Make sure it has a foc off bomb proof long term warranty.  And it trade in with a decent bit warranty left.  Could be wrong Dude – but I know I wouldn’t buy a used hybrid without a comprehensive manufacturer backed warranty.  Used values of these motors could plummet at some point - soon.  Another reason why I feel it is one or the other.
