Re basic Hybrid vehicles. (Petrol plus electric assist)
Toyota’s Prius and Camry have a long history in Taxi use in some parts of Australia. Brisbane and Cairns from experience in the passenger seat. Taxi drivers know their fuel costs, real world use better than most of us. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback on both models. This includes surprisingly their relative economy on longer trips at highway speeds, and notably the hybrid Camry. Toyota has a number of other hybrid options, as do Mitsubishi, Hyundai, and others. There is an increasing choice of pure BEVs, EG Tesla, Hyundai Kona, Nissan Leaf, etc if budget is not a significant concern.
Green vehicle options are also starting to appear in hire car company fleets (eg Hertz, Avis etc) at selected locations. It may suit if convenient to hire one for a day or two if not certain about the decision. I’ve been unsuccessful in getting a Camry hybrid for previous hires, unfortunately.
