Final running costs update as I can’t be bothered to work them out any more (I do miss in car fuel computers on ICE cars that give you an accurate mpg reading)
269 mile round trip (short break) starting with a full charge worked out at 40.84 mpg total equivalent. Final 100 mile run on petrol only (depleted battery, so fuel computer accurate) 33.8 mpg. Total running costs over first 7,000 miles £917.14 which is 13 pence per mile. Based on current petrol costs that equates to 45.38 mpg. Not bad, but I’d hoped for better in return for the faff of charging.

To be honest, I don’t find the fuel computer accurate at all, even in my previous Tucson ICE it under read by the time you did the fill to fill calculations. However we live and learn and your no wose off which is the main thing.
I will stop calculating the way I do in 6 days time when the car hits 12 months old. Given I have done a spread sheet (which I should have shared), I will carry on calculating, but rather than keep journeys seperate by filling up for each one, I will drop back to tank to tank refill calculations.
I sit back sometmes and thin, I should have gone with at least double the EV range, but from memory only the Tiggy was availble and in mind sits below the Tucson, that remain a damn good family car if nothing else!
