Non plug in hybrids are no longer having the benefit here of not paying road taxes. So those are no option for me. Non plug in hyrides have a limited time (2025) to acces low emission zones.

My suv will be solled next year. I otherwise need to do a rear axle rebuild. Cost only 1000 euro. And from 1 januari 2019 i may no longer drive in the low emission zones.

Except if i legally retrofit an particular filter for 1000 euro. And from 2020 i need to pay 500 euro to drive 1 year in the low emission zone. And from 2021 even with the particular filter, i may no longer drive in the low emission zone.

So the choise of an plug in hybride ( diesel or gas) have acces until 2030. The rules beginning from 2030 are not published yet.
And until 2030 plug ins do not have to pay road taxes.

LPG and CNG is not that mutch cheaper then regular gas or diesel. And if you compare between those and a plug in. The plug in is cheaper to drive.
