Thinking about buying a PHEV, the new Mitsubishi Outlander Aspire when it comes out next year.

Thoughts.

Got raped hard I comparison testing as it claims some B/S 2 or 4 ltrs per 100 but in fact belts out like 7 ltrs per 100 in the exact same test cycles manufacturing company need to follow

The Outlander PHEV is a 1859 kg SUV with mod cons and better than most most soft roaders off-road ability.

52 km on EV mode daily, I do 102 km. So even if it does 7 lt per 100 km in petrol mode it still should average out around 4 lt per 100 km.

Yes there are electricity cost to consider as well. But next house I have will have solar panels, maybe even a battery bank to go with it.

Support for electric vehicles in Australia is pretty darn poor. At least cursory Google searches haven't turned up much.

I can only think of Mandurah here in WA that has a charging station.

It will see some wet grass and the occasional graded dirt road.

To be honest I haven't gone that far yet still going through a thought process.

But taking my grand daughters for a run along a beach or forest track does sound good.

Could they keep up with it? Wow, I though electric cars were supposed to be fast.

A man takes his family to the zoo. All the cages, pens and enclosure are empty.

Finally he finds one cage with an animal in it. It's one dog.

It's a sh*tzu.

Got a local doc out to see me tonight. He is a black African man and a current affair just finished. Next show KKK the fight for white supremacy. I must say he did look at me weird when that came on.

Don't blame him.

I look strangely at people who watch ACA too
