Re: USB
>>I’m not sure on the PHEV!!! The number of times I get the battery saver activated while car stopped notification when I start the car is quite high<<

Re: Colour Options - Niro HEV 4.
I liked the Espresso metallic on the samples card, then saw one on the way out of the showroom that was standing outside, and changed my mind.

Re: PHEV OR HEV? High Mileage
At 60000 miles annually any car will be worthless in 2 years and a diesel car will be cheaper, I agree I will not buy another diesel for reasons you give but I only do 10000 miles

The charge rate for Tesla charge at the Supercharger stations is much higher than the charge rate for NIRO (3.3kw)
I gather that only Tesla's can charge at Tesla charger

Re: EV mileage and noise
I have now done 1200 miles in my PHEV and I have never noticed the engine noise, the worst noise is that artificial engine noise at low speed.
Is this a LEGAL requirement as I tend to switch it off as it drives me mad?
