THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH RANGE.
PHEVs have a combustion engine and an electric motor, which means their range is not limited. The two can operate together or independently, providing the flexibility of local emission-free electric driving over shorter distances and efficient petrol power for longer journeys.
THEY’RE TOO EXPENSIVE AND DON’T SAVE ENOUGH IN OPERATING COSTS.
PHEVs offer impressive lifetime savings over combustion engine models.

THEY AREN’T ANY GREENER THAN NORMAL VEHICLES.
All BMW PHEVs are classed as ‘ultra-low emission vehicles’, with CO2 emissions of less than 62g/km and as low as 27g/km for the X5 xDrive45e. You can read more about PHEV efficiency and emissions here.
THEY’RE COMPLICATED, SLOW AND BORING TO DRIVE.
The best way to experience a plug-in hybrid is from behind the wheel. Why not book a test drive at your nearest Stephen James showroom so you can compare a PHEV to a regular combustion engine car? Read our Plug-in Hybrid Guide to learn more about electric driving.
THEY’RE UNSAFE.
All electric cars are built to meet the same strict design and manufacturing regulations as petrol and diesel vehicles. Visit the Euro NCAP website to find detailed information on the safety ratings of all BMW PHEVs.
THEY’RE COSTLY TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR.
A 2020 report analysed real-world maintenance and repair cost data from thousands of households, concluding that PHEVs cost half as much to maintain as standard combustion engine vehicles.
