Just finished my first full tank of petrol where ive had access to an electric charger at home. Im pleasantly surprised.
My driving is a mixture, small amount of motorway, lots of a roads and lots of city driving. Over eleven days i drove 692 miles from 39 litres of petrol and 121kwh of electricity. I primarily charged at home, though occasionally (4x) i used the motorway rapid chargers for 20 minutes each. In that time i made a deliberate attempt to be fairly frugal. So no heating on short runs etc.
I ended up with 80.56mpg (not including electricity costs), the total costs at £1.05 a litre and 11p pkwh, comes out at 7.84p per mile. Thats a nice saving from the 12.68p per mile my nissan xtrail on LPG was giving me, if i ran the xtrail on petrol it would have been 22p a mile!!!!
When you do 20,000 miles a year each penny saving per mile is worth £200!!
