This isn't an enthusiasts thread. And I don't really care about what is "the future" or anything else. Nor am I interested in people justifying their choices.
It's purely about running costs. Our daily is an Equinox. It's a mid-sized SUV, powered by a small frugal TD. Being a yank, it was well equip for it's time, and it's been very reliable. It averages around 7L/100km. It probably does around 350~400km per week, mostly driven by my daughter, generally gets around 700~740km per (max 48L) tank, and costs $75~90 per fortnight. It's about to clock over 200kk, so we're starting to contemplate possible replacements. So just wondering if anyone has crunched the numbers on what a PHEV or EV costs to run? And compared that to the higher cost of ownership? (A PHEV that could do say 100km on battery, would probably run almost exclusively on charge.)
