Benefits of Chery Super Hybrid

Petrol or diesel cars are incredibly convenient because of the prevalence of petrol stations and the speed of filling up. Electric cars are silent, efficient, and can deliver torque almost instantly.

A Chery Super Hybrid combines these two attributes to deliver unparalleled mpg and low carbon emissions. It combines the range and convenience of a petrol or diesel engine with the efficiency and high torque of an electric motor.

"I used to have a petrol car but was spending near on £200 a month on fuel with the journeys I was making. It was surprising how much petrol I used by just going to and from work and out and about at the weekends.

When it came to changing my car, it was a no-brainer to switch to electric. I've had my electric car for over 18 months now and on average, I spend £60 a month charging my car, making the same journeys. Initially I was worried about charging it and had a lot of range anxiety but I needn't have worried. More often than not, I'll charge my car at my local rapid charging station and take my little boy and dog to the park whilst it's charging. When I don't rapid charge it, I have a three-pin charging lead for home.

In 2023 we took the car to Guernsey and had no issues charging on the journey down or whilst on Guernsey itself. It does take a little bit of planning ahead but I can't imagine going back to a petrol car now."

"My initial interest into owning an electric car came from exploring avenues into reducing energy costs for the home. Despite having had solar panels fitted, I found that energy companies were reluctant to offer competitive tariffs at that time, except for an EV tariff.

The next personal objection I needed to overcome was range and the UK’s charging infrastructure. There was so much bad press around both of these but I soon found out that this was old news. In fact the amount of super charging stations, the progress in the newer vehicles charging speeds and the in-car apps to locate charging stations en route, meant a quick 15-minute charge and you could get on your way.

Between two cars we cover close to 20,000 miles a year, when at 45mpg we would use 2,000 litres of fuel a year at £1.50 per litre. This meant our yearly fuel bill was roughly £3,000 along with road tax, it was getting close to £3,400. The EVs we were looking at would achieve 3.5 m/kW so we would roughly use 5,714 kWs of energy at 7.5p/kW, which equates to £428 per year in electric to run both cars - significantly cheaper that the cost of petrol. With reduced service intervals and limited wear to brakes, it meant I’d also be saving on maintenance costs!"
