Looking closer at the ... |

I think I need to be less polite maybe  I will admit to getting frustrated too. I also I agree the wattages involved don't stack up (Twisted have an EV conversion for the Td5 and the APU charg ... |

| An interesting option. I'm guessing warranty would go out the window if it were hard wired into the HV system (and it seems that the L663 400e can charge from the engine natively from what's been pos ... |

| Please, please read my post if you are going to reply - that is what I do / did - but could not recharge in the middle of nowhere with deep snow and ice to have onward reserve after using it! It is n ... |

Yep exactly (very expensive is right, but glad the car I was in had the option none-the-less).
My Td5 has a jerry can in the back for the exact same reason, but as I think I also mentioned th ... |

| If you read my posts fully as to what we did you will see that isn't the case - Battery Hold, then Hybrid, then Electric, then refuel with petrol (at 3rd station in our case, first actually to have fu ... |

Not pointless at all pjm-84 - depends on the situation and your use case.
Pointless around towns and in places like south, central England maybe (we certainly have never used it there in any of o ... |

Thank you Metisse, really appreciated. Consumption is just as poor on the other vehicles, so no surprise there as you say.
Looks like it’s definitely worth a test drive, and probably worth mak ... |

That looks quite familiar – miles of open shrubland and mountains for company!!
Yep, you are right on the petrol to charge – on the worst occasion thus far we drove all the time with ‘hol ... |

Hello, I have owned a Td5 110 for many years (love it to bits!) and now we are (finally) considering adding an L663 to the stable in replacement of my wife's aging Cayenne.
