    The other day we went to Oswestry 134 miles started off with a full battery used 4.03 litres £5.80 and 14.2 kWh to recharge £2.13 = £6.93 £6.93 @ 1.38 litre = 5.022 litres/1.105 gallons 121.27mpg or 5.12 pence per mile. We normally see around 61 miles EV local journeys this time of year, longer journeys approximately 50/54 miles. Its possible 80 miles (assuming 134-54) were achieved in hybrid mode using 4.03 litres/0.886 gallons = 90.29 mpg

    I’m planning on going on a 1yr fix with Octopus @22p kWh. Unlike you I don’t have solar/battery, which means the day rate for EDF go elelectric or Octopus go is inflated, nor would I wouldn’t transfer my usage to overnight and don’t think I’m brave enough for Agile 😂

    If, I chose to go on Octopus Go for example at a later date, that would make my charging costs £2.35, which is less than half of the £5.20 it cost for the stated journey.

    By using you calculations based on 8.5pkWh  (£2.35) would have given me 60.6mpg (around £4 saving)

    Or 9.6pence a mile rather than 11.2p

    Since, I have had the car, I have over 1200 miles and economy started to get better after 1000 miles, as it did with my previous Tucson, which settle after about 2200 miles. Electric range is also creeping up, which I find weird especially since the weather hasn’t drastically changed since having the car. My return journey home, I charged to 92% due to my parents shity Ohme charger only decided to charge at 3.7kW, which I wasn’t to pleased with as I wanted to test range at 60+mph on way to Shersbury. Anyway it switched to hybrid at 38 miles, so if it was charged to 100% I’ll hazard a guess electric only would be in the region of 40-42 miles, maybe more if I slowed down a bit lol. I’ll try next time but, big improvement on the 34 miles I was getting when first had the car.

    As always thank you for your advice 🙂
