    Seventy-three miles of electric range. Lovely. Then reality: company-car drivers never plug the thing in, drag half a tonne of dead battery about, and burn petrol at 28 mpg. The tax break survives, the CO2 figures look marvellous on paper, the kerb weight shreds tyres. Another compliance machine built for accountants. The planet gets a heavier parking space.
