    I have a PHEV, a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV FR, it’s brilliant!

    I can go 60km on a fully charged battery on smaller, more interesting roads, on motorways it gets me about 35-40km on a fully charged battery.

    This is with the AC going during summer.

    If I stick it into hybrid mode it uses about 3.9L/100km, or if you want MPG I get about 60.3 of those.

    PHEVs are brilliant and often overlooked.

      I’m interested in knowing your usage or driving needs, and if you have a second car?

      I can see some specific cases where it makes sense, and with my wife’s ICE car being next up exchange, I’m wondering if we should get a PHEV or a second EV.

        I live alone in Sweden, I take public transport to the office, I managed fine without a car for almost 8 years before I got the car.

        I use it mainly to get to interesting places to take photos, stuff like old industry, planespotting, castles, and similar stuff. I also use it for doing errands, shopping, running trash to the recycler, and similar stuff.

        90% of my usecase could be done on battery alone, but it is nice to know that I am not limited by the battery itself.
