We pick up our T5 plug-in hybrid in about a months time, so very interested in this also.
90% of our driving is around town, so i am hoping to use as very little petrol as possible. But reading FB forum’s and other sites, people have suggested it is quite easy to achieve 50MPG if you learn how to use the hybrid system correctly. So purely town driving should be done in electric only, but driving on A roads you should switch to the petrol only as electric becomes very inefficient.
I am very pee’d off with the dealer though who originally told us that we would qualify for the free wall charger promo that Volvo UK were running, only for us to find out a couple of weeks after placing the order that Motability customers do not qualify for the free charger, its only for retail customers! Now I will have to pay for an outside socket!
