Apologies to all readers not from the northern part of England who will have no idea what we are going on about.
Back to topic, the e-up would only work if all your journeys are short and you live in a city with lots of charging points. I am sceptical about pure electric cars generally, particularly as the quoted ranges are like quoted mpg figures impossible to achieve in less than ideal circumstances. You'd probably get about 50 from this one.
What we need is a range extended hybrid with the engine from the XL1. That I would be interested in.
