Anybody have any experience with these? My dad is currently thinking about going down the Electric/Hybrid route as they are offered on the Motability scheme he has been a part of for a few years now since losing his leg.
I seem to remember the Vauxhall Ampera was the best one but I've not really kept up with this side of the market.
He only does less than 30 miles per day at the moment and has solar panels at home which may/may not help keep the cost of charging down.
My understanding is the Ampera is powered by electric motors, will do 25-50 miles electirc only and it then has a 1.4 petrol generator to keep the electric motors powered up. I take it this means that it can't run out of batteries and as long as you keep the tank topped up as you would in a normal car it has unlimited range?
