    @kezo those numbers look optimistic to me. A car that’s regularly used for short trips, EV or otherwise will always be less efficient although the EV losses are somewhat reduced over driving an ICE that rarely gets to warm. I’d honestly expect 2.8-3.0 miles/kWh over a year if it’s mostly 1-3 mile trips.

    Thats why its important you mop up behind me😂 As for Hybrid, they are typically at there best on slower roads. The Juke does 50mpg easy and my gas gussling PHEV in hybrid mode depleted ev range gets 50mpg to and fro with daughter and 35mpg on a run. Hows the weather?

     

    We do really well mopping up behind each other.

     

    As an example, I get around 3.2/3.3 over the whole life and I’d say 99% of my driving is within a 10 mile trip and 90% will be driving to somewhere within 3 miles.  Others easily get much nearer 4 overall and 4.5 in summer (when I’m happy with 3.8) just because they’re driving to work each and every day.
