That’s a very sensible way of looking at things. Assuming that you did that calculation for your Tucson PHEV, does it work out significantly cheaper to run (including the charging cost) than say the non-plug in Hybrid version, enough to warrant the faff of having to plug it in after every time that you use it?
I did a quick calculation on taking my daughter to and from school 52 weeks a year for 3yrs. By calculating a full 52 week school year, would account for running about during school holidays taking her to the beach etc etc.
To take my daughter to and from school each week uses 3 gallons of fuel, so we’ll call that £18 per week in fuel based on £6 a gallon
156 weeks x £18 = £2808
So if I only use electric for this, I have saved £2808 minus charging costs. To calculate charging costs, I rounded it of to 0.10p per kWh for ease of calculating and I’d need to charge 2.5 times a week so we’ll say 3 for ease.
£1.40 x 3 = £4,20 or £655 over 3 years.
£2808 – £655 = £2153 saved just by taking my daughter to and from school.
As an example the AP is £4600 – £2153 from above calculations = £2447…
Similar sized Hybrids in he spec I’d want £3999 AP
Skoda Karoq Sportline Auto £2,800 – £3499 AP
I’m an electrician, its my duty to plug in! 🤣
