Kezo just had a quick look at the caravan forums Tuscon HEV owners are claiming seeing on the odd occasion 69/70mpg regularly achieving 45/50mpg, one member towing a 1650 kg caravan 30mpg and another towing a large twin axle 25mpg.
But are they going by the cars mpg readouts which, as we know with PHEVs, bear absolutely no relation to reality? From what I can gather, only a minuscule percentage of PHEV drivers know how to work out the true mpg equivalent once charging costs are factored in (which the mpg readings don’t allow for). It took me ages to work out the correct way to do it 😂
They are HEV not PHEV, when towing caravaners use HEV (hybrid mode) a 13 kWh battery of a Tuscan will only last about 16/18 miles towing in EV.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
