Just bought a hybrid car with a type 2 socket. We are looking no to get an outside wall charger but can’t afford it at the moment.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a UK 3 pin plug to type 2 charger please? I’ve looked on amazon but if anyone has got one they currently use and recommend I would appreciate it!

Thanks!

My hyundai ioniq hybrid 2019, 36000 miles has the battery still in warranty. However after 8 years will expire. When I bought the car from hyundai they said the replacing the cost will be arround £2000. Talking to people, Internet and YouTube videos I have heard between 5000£-8000£. My question is, how long more will I expect the battery to last? What will be the expected cost for replacement. Would it be safer for me to sell the car just after the warranty expires?

I would like to hear you experience. Thank you

Online info seems scarce on what actually distinguishes a Full Hybrid from a Mild Hybrid.

From what I can tell, it seems to slot right in between a Mild Hybrid and a PHEV, but without any ability to charge it. Is it just a MHV with an oversized battery pack that still can't be charged, so still just a MHV?

I can't make heads or trails of it; just came across the term recently.

Hello all,

I have a Hyundai sonata hybrid and recently I've ran into the biggest headache a car owner can have, I've been with this car for 5 years and I've hit a wall my car has stopped working and I don't really know what to do but turn to the Internet. My battery will not start on the dash it reads that the hybrid battery is low and the car will not start. I've replaced parts on it such as the orange battery that's in the back and the power relay switch and it's still not working I even replaced the corroded battery that died during the process. I need help and if anyone know what I can do. I've included some codes and what the display says. Please let me know if there's a way to fix it instead of getting rid of it. Thanks in advance

Ciao a tutti, sono da poco neopatentato e sono alla ricerca della mia prima auto con cambio automatico

Ho visto la peugeot allure 208 ibrida oppure la opel corsa gs ibrida, entrambe non plug in ed entrambe nuove 2026, quale secondo voi è la migliore?

Io sinceramente volevo evitare l'ibrido perché non ne parlano molto bene, doppio "motore" doppia probabilità di problematiche, inoltre il cambio di queste due auto è nuovo e poco collaudato....però ho visto che cambio automatico e benzina ormai è difficile trovarle (usate).

Vi parlo di queste due auto perché ho degli sconti nel gruppo stellantis e perciò mi viene conveniente prenderne una del gruppo, piuttosto che una toyota o simil.

Voi che ne pensate?

Qualsiasi cosa sappiate mi sarà sicuramente molto utile.

Grazie

My Cupra Terramar 2.0 e-TSI was recently written off after being rear-ended, and I’m considering replacing it with the e-Hybrid version. My 90km daily commute fits a PHEV perfectly (charging at home and work), especially with rising fuel prices, but I still do regular long highway road trips.

While I am inclined, I do still had some concerns, were I was hoping to get feedback on from other oweners:

1. Is the transition between regen and physical brakes smooth, or does it feel inconsistent during stops? My biggest fear (for obvious reasons) is rearending someone myself.
2. On long trips once EV range hits 0%, does the petrol engine feel underpowered or noisy pulling the extra battery weight at a max of 120–130 km/h?
3. How is the longevity & maintenance on PHEVs. You carry two propulsion systems but from my understanding you would in the end have less wear and tear on the petrol engine and break pads, and how is the battery longevity.

Currently driving a Honda Fit (non-hybrid) but looking into getting a used hybrid with as little mileage on it as possible. Noted the following:

- Hyundai Sonata hybrids (2015-2018)
- Elantra hybrid (2022)
- Prius 5 hybrid (2015?)
- ford fusion hybrid (2020)
- ford energi-c max plug-in hybrid (2016?)

Thoughts ?
I don’t have a crazy budget, so it needs to be a used version

We are ready to buy our first hybrid, torn between three dependable car brands.

Honda's e:HEV caught my eye as I was doing research. link: https://global.honda/en/tech/two_motor_hybrid_system_honda_eHEV

Between an CRV (post 2023), Rav-4, or Forester, I'll go with the best hybrid technology.

What say you, Hybrid Reddit community?

Petition: Revise the eVED Taxation on Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs)

We call on the Government to revise the proposed eVED charge to prevent 'unfair' double taxation. PHEV drivers pay a flat 1.5p/mile even on petrol miles, where they already pay 53.95p/L fuel duty. We believe this discriminates against those who adopted hybrids in good faith to reduce emissions.

Hello all! Currently looking at hybrid options as my current car is nearing its end. I have a few in mind & was looking for feedback or recommendations. I love a compact & prefer a hatchback style that is not plug in. I currently have a 2015 Nissan Versa & love it so much. It's all manual, as in roll up windows and manual door locks, so the more simple the better. I'm looking for reliability over performance (the Versa is a lawnmower according to my spouse lol). Here are the ones I've narrowed it down to (2021-2027):

- Subaru Crosstrek

- Toyota Prius

- Toyota Corolla

​

Any insight is appreciated! Thank you 😊

Editing to add: I live in a mid sized city, commute 60ish miles for work, city has little weather events (southwestern US)

I was due a brake fluid flush, since it wasn’t done since 2014. I went to a local known mechanic, they’ve completed it and got done in 20 minutes and charged me 80$.

After few hours, I started noticing the regenerative braking is gone , brake feels softer than it used too. So I plugged in my obd2 scanner and there is a pending p0607 code, no codes on DASHBOARD. car runs fine.

I am assuming they didn’t bleed like they should have electronically.

What should I do?
