    I can remember the first set of traffic lights in Bali, that had only been in situ for about a month.

    No matter what the colour the light was the Balinese would slow right down, put the hazards on and proceed slowly through the intersection.

    Very civilised I thought.

    weird thing is that the water apparently got into the 48V via the air filter box. How unlike Toyota. (sarc)

    48 volt is a mild hybrid, so battery only runs ancillaries.

    Because it is not technically a full EV - only used electrics to get going and then the ICE engine takes over. - that is why it is called a Hybrid

    I rented a car in Spain a few weeks ago and they supplied a BMW X1 diesel mild Hybrid. The hybrid part did low speed work in towns and assisted with acceleration at highway speeds. It really flew from 120Kmh to say 160Kmh . It was interesting to look at the Kms to empty as they would increase going downhill. It did about 7L per 100km in the two weeks I had it with most time on highway at 120Kmh.
    Regards PhilipA

    I enjoyed driving in Spain. I felt a lot safer there, than on a lot of Oz motorways, even with being left hand drive.

    We had a Hybrid Kluga in NZ for a few weeks.
    I didn't clock the fuel economy,but it was pretty gutless,not much go at all.
    Died in the arse whenever it saw a hill.

    Should have hired a real EV "Science Says Hard Acceleration Might Be Good For Your EV Battery
