All this hybrid stuff is smoke and mirrors and is just added complexity to keep selling petrol / Diesel vehicles. No plans to swap my Jimny until I am forced and or the fully electric technology is more established.
So no more new vehicles for me.
Looking forward if no-one manufacturers an affordable electric vehicle plan B is a E conversion on my 2CV.
It will be faster

Just imagine a "retro electric 2CV" with the same tray as an electric vehicle.

I personally think Suzuki missed a golden opportunity with the new Jimny. They hit the mark with the current trend for retro styling, but then went and fitted what is an old design petrol engine. They didn't even attempt to make it a hybrid to dodge the pending emissions levy. It should have been 100% electric, then they could legitimately charge £30k+ for it and had a high demand eco vehicle.
But that's Suzuki, evolution not revolution.
Electric 2CV been around since the hippies, but modern propulsion packages are being developed as kits, got my eye on this one.

Although Suzuki are well made so it would probably be a good choice of mummy wagon for the growing family.
Be ready to get forced on to the curb by one of these barging through the parked SUV's and 4x4's outside your local primary school.
