    Thanks for that info @kezo I’ve just been watching a really interesting video on YouTube that was posted yesterday by ‘Harry’s Garage’ called “Why EV uptake is stalling and the government must abandon its ZEV mandate”. It was posted yesterday. I don’t know if you’ve seen any of his videos but he’s bang on the money with things.

    Anyway, the reason that I mention it is that he shows some cost calculations, and he does exactly the same calculation that I finally landed on the other day I.e. work out the cost per mile of charging and then divide that pence per mile back in to the price of a gallon of petrol to work out the mpg equivalent. I’ve finished the manuals BTW 👍I was surprised how much I already knew after my 48 hours of test drives, but I’ve managed to distill over 700 pages down to 3 pages of notes of things that I’m going to check out when I get the car. Oddly, I couldn’t see the regenerative braking instructions anywhere, so thanks for the info.

    BTW, not that I’m overly bothered if it has the feature or not, as I’ve had it in my last few cars and never use it, but does the UK Tucson have the system that measures spaces when you drive slowly past them and then automatically parks the car with the driver just using the forward and drive gears but not touching the steering wheel? I don’t mean the system that you get with the smart key that parks the car remotely (which I think is a gimmick and not practical to use other than perhaps for putting a car in a tight garage), but the system that you still need to be in the car to auto park.
