Just checked again and yes it is around 100 for Company Car Tax but the I have to add in Private Fuel which is an additional 150. So total is around 250 pcm tax against the Prius or other Hybrids of 62.
Bandit, I didnt experience the same as you but I do know where your coming from.
I am going to give one a go as they only last me 18mths so will see what happens.

Prius or not to Prius......not i think
It maybe a good car but by the time the bits have been made in one country ,all the gubbings for the battery are sourced in china and shipped to canada for processing (by the way i hear that the damage caused by the emissions from processing the batteries is destroying the surrounding wildlife habitat, and thn its all bolted together and shipped around the world
.....not so eco friendly, infact those excellent motoring journalists on topgear did an experiment and it's not as economical as they claim it is.

Errrrr......no it isnt. Go to the Inland Revenue site and put in the details for car and fuel and it comes in at around £800 for the year that you pay, ie £75 a month roughly.

My son is a motoring editor, and he brought a VW development engineer over to ours. Electric vehicles were discussed, and he reckoned the big issue in the trade was safety, no back seats, thats where the batteries are, chinese batteries.
The issue was a fear of the batteries exploding.

Seems a reasonable fear, bearing in mind laptop battery problems.

Electric car batteries use the same techystuff as laptops. That was a Sony/chino design/manufacturing problem, but that is also the source of the fear in the developers.
Drill some holes in the back of the drivers seat. When it goes BANG, you will go quite quickly. :wink:
