    Likely to be something small or a hybrid.

    In my suzuki Vitara mild hybrid. If i didn’t use the acc alot and drove more conservatively around town. I’d more than likely hit 50 mpg, as I’ve averaged 40mpg over 1000 miles combined not even trying to get a low mpg.

    Imo it’s very hard to do a like for like test even on paper for an average as there is so many variables.

    Lets do the test in winter not in the summer or do tests 4 times a year and then compare the averages.

    There’s always going to be winners and losers in different conditions and types of driving, engines or gearboxes.

    The fact remain’s having an ev without the ability to charge at home cheap is expensive and not really viable for many. The comparison in the video was on rapid chargers only and at 69p not the £1 that’s now the highest price of the most popular or available network are charging users.

    I think others will follow and charge more, especially when oct comes as we will see rises in energy, just not by as much as we would. Hopefully there no power cuts this winter.
