WE ALSO THINK THAT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS A GREAT INTERMEDIATE CAR FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO GREEN, BUT CANNOT USE AN ELECTRIC CAR DUE TO THEIR NEEDS

have a Tesla. Counting where you can go, where to stop, charging the battery, how long it will take, and so on. The rechargeable hybrid model allows you to use the main advantage of the electric car and avoid its biggest disadvantage. Simple isn’t it?

No less important is the ecological aspect: the most important thing is to reduce pollution in cities with the highest concentration of people and transport, and this is less important in the countryside. For this reason, plug-in cars will be in demand even as more expensive electric cars become more popular. The Superb iV in question is powered by a 1.4 TSI motor which offers 154bhp and 85kW electric motors. The total power of the hybrid system then is 215bhp and peak torque is rated at 400Nm. The car has an automatic 6-speed gearbox and this allows it to get to 100kmph in just eight seconds. The other thing we liked about the Superb iV is the technology. One can control a lot with a smart phone - for example, to set the battery to charge at night using cheaper electricity when plugged into an electrical outlet etc. One can also set the desired balance of electricity usage in the car in a bid to “reserve” electric drive for the old town or another place where you want to drive quietly and without emissions. Let’s also get one thing straight first. One who will buy such a car will most likely have the provision to charge the battery at home and will do so every night, and will drive in the city using only electricity. Driving an electric then gives a lot of pleasures as well and many will want to do it as often as possible. Therefore, it seems strange that the sale of the rechargeable hybrid car is not encouraged.
