Plug-in hybrid

If you're not ready to commit to an EV but are able to charge your car at home or work, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) could be the perfect compromise. The best can travel for over 80 miles on a charge, and once the battery is depleted, automatically switch to their petrol or diesel engine.

There are a huge choice of models out there, from family cars to estates and SUVs, but all provide quiet zero-emissions motoring with the reassurance that a five minute fill-up will rarely be far away. As well as the potential for exceptional fuel economy, company car rates are low, too.
