Another long-term car joins the Autocar fleet - it's the Peugeot 308 SW plug-in hybrid
Charging takes about three and a half hours using a 7.4kWh home wall box, or nearly double that time if you use a domestic three-pin socket. So far, the 308 hasn't achieved anywhere near that official 37-mile figure when in EV mode. After a full night's charge, I'm getting only around 18 miles out of the battery, which seems rather poor.
There's plenty of kit as standard, including LED headlights, keyless entry, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. A notable omission for me given the time of year, though, is seat heating, which is available on GT trim only. Boo. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included, or you can make use of the in-built sat-nav. Among my favourite parts of the interior are the iToggles, which are an example of touchpads done right. They're big, responsive and customisable, and have so far proved handy.
