    “I generally only do about 4000 to 4500 miles a year, most of my journeys are 10 minutes long and the average speed 30 to 40 mph, is it possible that some or most of these journey/s would been done on purely hybrid electric ?”

    Just be aware the only way to do your short journeys on electric alone is with a plug in hybrid.  The Ioniq has to run the engine to continually replenishing the electricity used up by those short journeys.  It’s probably best not to think of whether a particular journey would be done on electric power alone, but to accept that the car will do what it needs to do to minimise the use of petrol.
