We still have our diesel C-Crosser too, the PHEV is far more refined and you will get used to its auto nature, it's not really an auto as such as electric motors don't need any gearbox. Find a dead quiet bit of straight road you can stop on then try foot to the floor and holding it (there is a sort of kickdown boost button under the throttle if you press it hard that tells it to shake a leg). Its pretty stunning to go from zero to (ahem!) in one go with no gear changes and very quickly, the car switching through drive modes seamlessly.

You will miss a couple of things from the C-Crosser, the Citroen boot is bigger, the split tailgate, the 12volt socket in the boot, the spare wheel underneath! not everything improves.

100 Amps is the rating of your consumer unit (fuse box) its how much it can supply the while building.

You can charge with the supplied charger from a normal 13 amp socket and the PHEV will only draw less than 10 Amps but its safer to have a dedicated socket installed in the garage for a few quid.

Or have fixed charger installed as mentioned above, even that doesn't draw that much power but has to be wired directly back to the fuse box.
