sorted byyesterday, might actually sway you towards this car. The team compared three versions of the Kia Niro; the Mild Hybrid (like this Mazda), the Plug-in Hybrid & the EV. They did a long, fast motorway run & a short, slow run through congested central London. Guess which one was the least costly?
So I thought I'd have a stab at extrapolating the WhatCar results in terms of costs.
I looked at depreciation over ten years (assuming 15% of new value after 10 years), petrol at £1.40 (at my local Jet garage) & domestic leccy at 20p/kWh (the minimum I pay on Octopus Flux).
So it transpires the Niro PIHV is worst & the cheap MHEV best. The EV has the cheapest fuel costs but this is negated by it's higher depreciation costs. However if you want cheap transport get yourself a small, lightweight, very fuel efficient buzzbox & look after it.
PS - someone will no doubt say ah but what about VED? I ignored it because sooner or later this will have to equalise, otherwise the government will lose too much revenue. (edited)
Mild hybrids have almost no benefit
