There is no doubt, in that, in terms of vehicle body types, the SUV has continued to reign in popularity in the U.K. Fortunately for current and aspiring SUV owners, the world of electric vehicles (EVs), in particular, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) offers a fantastic opportunity to migrate to more fuel efficient and lower tailpipe emission plug-in electric SUVs.
2021 was a record year for the sale of both, battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). A total of 190,727 pure electric cars were registered in the United Kingdom and 114,554 PHEVs. Combined, electric vehicles (EVs) commanded a market share of over 18%.
e-zoomed expects the EV market share to continue to grown rapidly in the coming years and become the dominant type of vehicle sold in the UK, well before the UK government’s 2030 ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) petrol and diesel cars.
For those new to lower to zero tailpipe emission electric driving and keen to understand the difference between a BEV and a PHEV the table below is an excellent introduction!
Type Of Electric Vehicle (EV) | Description |
---|---|
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEVs) | Mild hybrids use both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric motor. These cars are also known as ‘self-charging hybrids’. The vehicle uses regenerative braking (recuperated electric energy) to improve the fuel efficiency (mpg) and to reduce tailpipe emissions (CO2 g/km). However, mild hybrids cannot be charged by an external power source (i.e. EV charger). The recuperated electric energy is also used to boost the the combustion engine enhancing acceleration. Automotive manufactures (OEMs) like Toyota are one of the pioneers in developing and introducing mild hybrid vehicles. The ubiquitous Toyota Prius mild hybrid is an excellent example. Toyota also helped popularise the use of mild hybrids in the premium segment via its wholly owned Lexus brand. |
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) | Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) aim to achieve the same objectives like a MHEV i.e. increase fuel efficiency and reduce tailpipe emissions. However there is much difference between a PHEV and a MHEV. The PHEV has a larger electric motor and onboard EV battery that is used to assist the internal combustion engine (ICE), but also to propel the vehicle. In a MHEV, the small onboard electric motor does not propel the vehicle. PHEVs come is varied EV battery sizes, but in general, most PHEVs have an EV battery size below 20 kWh. A plug-in electric car is capable of up to 25 miles zero-tailpipe emission electric miles. However, some PHEVs are capable of even longer electric miles. The Volvo XC60 PHEV is a good example of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Moreover, a PHEV EV battery is charged by using an external power source to include a domestic 3-PIN plug or a dedicated EV charger. |
Battery-Electric Vehicle (BEV) | A battery-electric vehicle is more commonly referred to as a pure electric car. The EVs are ‘pure’ in that, the vehicle only uses electric power for propulsion i.e. a BEV does not have an internal combustion engine. It is easy to recognise these zero-tailpipe emission green cars, as they are silent (except for the artificial noise) and do not have a tailpipe! The electric vehicles have a much larger onboard EV battery than a PHEV. The EV battery on a BEV can be as large as 120 kWh, though an average in 60 kWh. In any case, most BEVs have an EV battery larger than 30 kWh. BEVs also use regenerative braking to improve the vehicle efficiency and electric range. However, the main source for the EV range is the EV battery, which can only be charged using an external power source, like an EV charger. BEVs can vary in range, depending on a number factors. However the more recent BEVs can have a range between 100 miles to 300 miles (WLTP) on a single charge. As an example, the all-electric VW ID.3 has a range up to336 miles. |
Top Reasons To Buy A PHEV
It is a widely known fact, in that, the average distance of a trip in the UK is a mere 12 miles. An average vehicle in the UK will travel between 8k and 10k miles per annum i.e. less than 30 miles per day. The newest eco-friendly PHEVs on the market will average between 20 to 30 zero-emission electric miles on a fully-charged EV battery. Perfect for the daily needs of most individuals and families in the UK! You can lease fantastic plug-in hybrid electric cars via e-zoomed at fantastic prices. Simply follow this link!
To Reason To Own A Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle |
---|
1). Improved fuel efficiency i.e. higher mpg! |
2). Lower fuel costs i.e. higher savings compared to a convention internal combustion engine (ICE) only vehicle. |
3). Reduced tailpipe emission: improved local air quality and better for the environment. |
4). Cheap to drive on electric mode: 3 pence to 5 pence per mile compared to up to 20 pence per mile on petrol or diesel cars. |
5). Higher vehicle performance (torque and acceleration) and smoother drive. |
6). Lower noise in electric model. |
7). Practical and versatile for short and long distance trips. |
8). Easy to charge at the convenience of your own home or office. |

The compact Lexus NX crossover SUV was introduced in 2014. Since its release, the SUV has sold well, to include becoming a best-selling SUV in Europe. The Lexus NX SUV is available as a ‘self-charging’ and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The PHEV was launched as part of the broader second-generation launch of the SUV in 2021. The Lexus NX PHEV is the first plug-in hybrid vehicle from the Japanese automotive manufacturer and shares the same powertrain as the RAV4 plug-in hybrid.
The PHEV has a respectable 18.1 kWh EV battery with a zero-tailpipe emission electric range of over 40 miles. This is certainly higher than the average PHEV (the average is closer to 20 miles). The NX has a 6.6 kW onboard charger. The EV battery can be fully charged in 2 hours 45 minutes using a 7 kW dedicated home EV charger. The EV also has regenerative braking to increase electric range.
The electric motor is placed at the rear of the electric vehicle, enabling all-wheel drive (AWD). On EV mode, the e-SUV can achieve a top speed of 83 mph. The plug-in SUV can achieve 0-62 mph in 6.3 seconds. When on electric mode, the tailpipe emissions are zero, however, when using the internal combustion engine (ICE), the SUV has tailpipe emissions between 21-25 g/ km.
The Lexus Safety System+ comes as standard. The higher trim levels offer: blind spot monitor (BSM), rear cross traffic alert and braking (RCTAB), adaptive variable suspension (AVS), smart entry and start system, 20″ alloy wheels, 14″ touchscreen display, sunroof and more. The PHEV uses the latest infotainment system from Lexus, a significant improvement compared to the previous generations.

The Porsche Cayenne luxury SUV has been available since 2002. It is the first Porsche vehicle with four doors. It is also Porsche’s first off-road since the tractors of the 1950’s. The Porsche Cayenne uses the same platform as the Volkswagen Touareg and the Audi Q7. The plug-in E-hybrid variant was introduced in 2014 at the Paris Motor Show.
As one can expect, a Porsche never disappoints when it comes to quality and performance. The Cayenne PHEV is no different. Given the instant torque from an electric engine, the plug-in electric vehicle achieves 0-62 mph in 5.0 seconds for the entry level variant. The top level variant, the Turbo S E Hybrid Coupe, achieves 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 183 mph. But of course, luxury and performance from this famed marquee does not come cheap. Prices start from£72,560 for the E Hybrid variant and increase up to£134,180 for the Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe.
The electric vehicle (EV) is without an iota of doubt, stunning in design, style, quality and performance. The plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV) is perfect for those drivers that want the performance and quality of a Porsche, but with better environmental credentials (tailpipe emissions: up to 92g/km). Though the PHEV has a zero-emission electric range up to 27 miles, based on driving style and driving conditions, the real world range could be closer to 22 miles.
