I don't think the dog would like the CRZor the missus' back
My concern with the e is the steep upward trajectory of fuel
I was paying 14p
I now pay 20p
I'm told it will rise a chunk again in April
This all scuppers TCO
Dunno what to buy instead tho. Needs good ride, bike carrier, dog capacity, low tax
Or I source my own power generation like rog

Simple answer, remove the bike carrier and hook up the nipper's bike to a generator to charge the car.

I cannot imagine the whinging
a good cyclist generates 240w

So 4hrs in theory 1kw or c3 miles worth
wonder if I ruin it with Prius tyres

an actual manual hybrid! (the only one ever?)

had it about 6 years and 75k now
1st gen Insight was the first manual Honda hybrid

and was launched quite a long time before the CR-Z came on the scene

9k miles now.. averaging 2.8m/kw over the last few k miles
Pros
Maint £0
tax £0
Mpge is only around 90mpge markComfort remarkable.. love the pre heat and defrost itself stuffNo petrol stations reqd Driveability (ease of a motor powered car, single pedal, no gears and adaptive cruise etc
ConsElectric consumption is up and the price per kWh is up hugely (50%) since I got it. We do c150 miles a week but I plug it in every day so lots of small top ups equating I guess to 50-60kwh per week or 200 per monthPaint is very softI think it will eat tyres fairly quick
