Well yes and no. Its the same as the charging the grid, which is supplied via coal powered stations..... Just on a smaller scale.

Our courtesy cars are A classes, petrol and diesel. This is our commuter.

We would have to pay to have the waste oil taken away, where it woukd be processed and used for the same thing.
PHEVs are getting smarter too. The TX taxi can now be geofenced, so that the range extending ICE only cuts in outside of any ULEZ. That tech will only expand across all cars as things progress.

This seems more ‘normal’, interesting mpg though :D

Sold my CLK - well yesterday actually. Met a pal in our local bar and he was desperate for another car, knew mine and offered money, so we did a deal !

Where to go next? Another CLK or CLS ??

The 209 CLK is a very pretty vehicle though...
The CLK was my re-intro to MB ownership (had a 190e eons ago) and I thought how pretty she was. I washed her yesterday and she really glittered in the sunshine.

The experience was great so now after a deeper plunge into MB ownership - wish me luck !!!!

I successfully managed to set up my IPhone 7 to blue tooth via the cassette deck so know I can play music via my phone through the superb Bose sound system on my S500 minor teething problems
Only set back is using the phone for a call you cannot answer ii when using Cd or radio without switching to cassette
