    The total journey, taking into account local running about Mon/Tue because I forgot to switch the bloody socket on πŸ˜‚ made my total journey 349 miles from when I left the house to refuel on EV and based my calculations on fuel cost to fill tank and cost to charge for 70 miles, I think we said.

    I can see how you are calculating to get to your figure but, I think thats wrong 😜, where as, I think we need to add the two costs together and then divide the total mileage by that. Truth be told, I don’t think either of us know the exact way and is giving us headaches πŸ˜‚

    I think, most if not all your local 50/50 motorway/local roads and local area driving will be done in electric, especially if you keep it charged and remember to switch the bloody socket on. If on your less often 300+ mile journeys, you only acheive what you do in the BMW, your still on a winner overall. Anything better is a bonus. FWIW I’m a quick driver!

    I found road noise is increased on a EV due to the lack of any background noise, however Hyundai’s were much better due to the inclusion of all round acoustic glass on many of their EV models.
