Phev owners - do u plug in religiously ?
So I get into discussions often with friends on the merits of bev vs phev vs ice and impact on the environment bla bla
One item that has come up often is that most phev owners do NOT plug in daily (making phevs a waste of resources with greater fuel consumption bc of extra weight for example).
Having owned my v60 PE for almost 3 years i find this hard to believe. Its so much easier to plug in than to go the freaking gas station- and of course up to 10x cheaper on time of use electrical utility plans. And while I do enjoy the sprited driving possible on the V60 PE, I am othetlrwise a hypermiler on battery usage - have averaged about 2.3l/100km for the life of the vehicle.
My question- do all of you phev owners, honestly always be chargin? (Yes for me unless i stupidly forget which has happened maybe 4 times/nights).
Edit: perhaps a dumb post. Old(?) 'studies' suggested people for the most part dont plug in daily. This is beyond stupidity to me... that old study(?) Might be garbage. I have to look up where that was quoted.
