How do you get a PHEV ?

You take a normal Hybrid Electric Vehicle and convert it to run more frequently on the electric side of the vehicle, by fitting batteries with a larger capacity and with the facility to plug it into a mains power socket.

Here's some images to show the results.

Plug-in Hybrids are currently available now, via three options in the U.K.

1. Buy one from abroad and import it. (Expensive option)
2. Wait until 2011 and buy a brand new one (Expensive option)
3. Buy a converted used PHEV from us! (Cheapest option)
