    It's a petrol car too. Unlike, say, a leaf which doesn't use petrol.

    But shur that's only bollox.

    It doesn't use petrol to propel the car. It's basically just a generator to charge the battery. So how they can class it as a "petrol" car is beyond me.

    Not a rant at you Col.

    I think revenue would say there is CO2 coming out the exhaust pipe so VRT is due.

    But you put petrol in, exhaust gasses come out, they've tested the emissions and all and there are some!
    Otherwise you'd have range rover v8s with enough battery power to do 2 miles and they'd be zero emissions. Where would you draw the line?

    Oh yeah, forgot about the emissions!

    But of a spa!
