Never been a big fan of plug-in hybrids due to the fact that the range has never been that good and there's generally too much input from the petrol engine. The Across, however, gives almost 50 miles of range (47 indicated after a charge) and that's pretty decent even for a rural location like mine. Most daily trips easily eat up 30-40 miles, so a quick overnight on the home charger is a good 'un for daily use. Theoretically I would probably only have to visit a petrol station once every 2-3 months.
