Thinking about getting a PHEV as business vehicle, and was wondering if it was for me.
I am an IT contractor, that cover several sites around South Wales
Just to give you an idea of my useage, it would be approx 300 miles a week, at the moment, I will only have the facility to charge at home, unless I stop of at a 'free' charge area on my lunch break or something.....
Weekly break down would approx be the following :-
3x times a week 18 miles - approx 14 miles motorway or 25 miles all motorway.
2x a week 70 miles nearly all motorway/dual carriageway. (sometimes a combination of the 2 - ie I visit both sites)
1x every 2-3 weeks, I may do a trip to West Wales, approx 140 mile trip. 90 miles on Motorway/Dual Carriageway, the rest on A Roads.
Also have my personal usage, which is mostly running around locally.
I guess if I can get 20 miles a day on electric, that is about 1/3rd of my travel covered. More than 1/2 if I can get a 2nd charge on the longer trips.
Current setup - I get about 45 MPG in a 1.6 diesel on a £75 fill - approx 17p per mile on fuel?
Anyone know what kind of saving I could expect?
How much it costs to charge the car at home?
that kind of thing....
