- N.Wales ZS EV ( Gen 2 ).
After owning a VW Golf PHEV for over four years, I found the cost of servicing increased with it's age.I switched from hybrid (Mitsubishi outlander PHEV) to the ZS after an over £400 bill for servicing. The majority of the cost was ICE related ( oil, filter, plugs etc) on an engine that had little running as most of my miles had been in electric mode.
So definitely full E.V. for me.
Having two forms of propulsion have there different service demands added together.
I also extended the warranty on my car for peace of mind.
There are a very complicated piece of equipment that when running correctly is fine, but if you are unlucky enough to require a repair on the hybrid system, it can be a very expensive one.
