Thinking from Lygonos especially but all input appreciated!
Brother is now taking early semi-retirement - currently has a diesel Titanium C Max with 120k miles on the clock. Looking to get either full electric or PHEV.
Budget prob around £24k
Top off the realistic list seems to be the BMW 225xe just now and as Lygonos pointed out previously, there are some cracking ex demo and under 1 year deals doing the rounds.
Some specific questions from him on this model
How long does it take to charge at the various types of charger and what chargers can it use?
What should a car come with in the way of cables etc?
What is the real life electric only range?
What mpg would you get on a long motorway journey?
Do you get much braking from active regeneration to improve efficiency and save brake wear and tear?
Does the preconditioning both heat and cool and is it only available when plugged in?
Does the car connect to internet (to use app) over mobile network or WiFi and does this cost?
Other option he is looking at is the Kia Niro PHEV but is preferring the look and feel of the BMW. He realises that there is more and more electric vehicles coming but this is a here and now so need to look at what is currently available.
Any input appreciated - cheers
