HYBRID MILD OR PLUG IN, where charging stations are 500m around but not in your premises ?
I am planning to buy a new BMW X3. I was thinking to go for a petrol one BMW X3 20 but my partner is arguing that the plug in,could be better option as more economic in fuel consumption but also in taxes in Geneva and that where the technologies are evolving to. I never had a car in Switzerland before, and the idea is to use it for long distances in the weekends but not sure how often to be used inside Geneva because all the traffic. The important note is I don’t have electric borne in our premises and I will need to resource it elsewhere, which’s I assume it will not be everyday as I am not commuting daily ? I have seen in the internet that after 80,000 km or 10 y of the car ownership , the maintenance of plug in is much higher than the petrol one.Theoretically, I will sell it after few years but I am not sure if the plug in is keeping better the price in used market because of the maintenance cost?. Any expert advice? Maybe also regarding the driving experience itself ( I have tested mild hybrid but not the plug in and I liked the 20)
