Ok, I measure mine from the Podpoint APP which includes losses. The biggest killer over the cold snap is preheating, I could not let my wife getting cold now she is out of hospital. Now it has warmer up a few degrees I should be back to 49/50 miles with the heating on.
Don’t have that option mate with the Tucson, as it requires the engine on high tickover for provding heat and adopts a bypass valve so the cabin heats up along with engine. Therefore in the winter the engine is required and often running at high tickover (1100rpm) till the set temperature is met, then once residule heat is used the engines back on again. I don’t find the heat produced is as warm as an ICE. Preheating requires the old method 😂
Thankfully I don’t need to worry about pre-heating, as the car is always garaged overnight so I never have frost etc to worry about and it doesn’t get as cold as being parked outside, but I agree about the heating in general on the Tucson. I have to crank the temperature right up to warm the cabin. Like many things, I don’t find the climate control to be anywhere as near as good (heating or cooling) as previous BMWs, but I just assumed that was a Hyundai thing. I hadn’t considered that it was because it was a PHEV.
Thanks for the info on the charging time for the X5. Sounds like it would be possible to fully recharge overnight then, which I had wondered. If buying used I’d get an ICE one, but if I go down the new car route (with the VAT knocked off) then the PHEV potentially makes more sense, not that I’m massively keen on another PHEV.
