The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid has qualified for the government's £5000 discount for low-emission models. The S E-Hybrid also attracts a 5 per cent company car tax liability and is eligible for 100 per cent of first year capital allowance. It is exempt from road tax, first registration fee and the London Congestion Charge. Porsche claims 91mpg, emissions of 71g/km and an EV range of 22 miles.

Nice to see Porsche UK have finally won the case, can't wait till the Daily Mail gets hold of the story! The 918 Spyder has qualified also!

I think he's voided his warranty but not recharging at OPC west London
Non Porsche electricity will affect the batteries surely

or work in london where it could save you £10 a day just by not picking up the congestion charge. Or have it registered as a company car. In fact, based on whats posted above, you'd have to be very brave to pick the diesel above one of these..

What is the 91mpg claim based on? 56mph until the battery runs out?

I'd suggest buying one quick before the money runs out. Cameron has sensibly enough called an end to the "green crap" and industry is taking him seriously -- e.g. scrapping that economically unsustainable wind farm.

No more free money just because your business plan starts with the word "eco".

How long before we see the charging cables on ebay as they get stolen from cars left unattended charging, followed closely by personal injury claims from people tripping over the cables in the street looking for a quick payout from these no win no fee companies!

Do you have to pay to charge the car on one of these units, how do they work? Seems like it would of made sense to enclose them more so pedestrians can't try and walk between the car and post when in use, hence avoiding the trippers. :-)

I was following a Panas earlier today and I was wondering who the hell is going to want a secondhand one of these in a few years?

I expect them to be very cheap like older Cayennes.

My boss loves his Panny Diesel.
Most days drives 4 miles to the office and back in it.

The Electrikery one is perfect for this.

(love the OPC Warranty issues with non approved electricity)
So, 60k to get 15mpg more over 8 miles a day.

Good work.

A good friend of mine had a 997 turbo with the badge missing
Thinking it was a simple £19.99 badge from the Porsche parts dept

Afraid not, the badge is not available on its own
You need to buy a whole airbag at about £700

If you stick a badge on with superglue and the airbag goes off the badge becomes a bullit

You can run it in full sport with electric and petrol at full chat and it doesn't alter any of the tax benefit! Porsche didn't write the CO2 rules and the OLEV grant but have succeeded in exceeding the targets. The Cayenne gets the same tech next year.

Mercedes have a 69g CO2 S Class due in 2014!

Goalposts will be 'corrected'. biggrin
