No I am about to exchange my LR Trophy for the Phev.
After which I will have the confidence to dispose of my SsAngyong Korando 2.2 ultimate.
We owned a VW Golf GTE PHEV for four year, before we decided to go full BEV with the MG ZS EV in 2019.
VW only offered the e.Golf at the time and although it was a loverly drive, the range was too small for our needs really.
Here is my 2 pennies worth on how I found the PHEV.
I really did enjoy my time with the PHEV to be fair, we covered just under 30,000 miles in that time.
It was powered by a non standard 1.4 TSI engine and a silky smooth 6 speed DSG gearbox.
The way the engine gearbox and hybrid system combined was a brilliant piece of engineering.
You will at first, find it strange when you hear the engine suddenly jumps in, after having a pretty much silent full EV.
I did find the servicing costs can get a bit spiteful as time passes by though.
It was very economical to run after owning many many petrol cars over the years.
But it comes as no surprise, the EV's running costs are much lower than the PHEV.
We only charge from home and are therefore a little more in control of the running costs.
This can be witnessed by the mileage we are able to affordably cover.
Two years ownership of the first Gen 1 ZS EV and we covered 20,000 miles and now another 12,000 miles in 15 months of owning the Gen 2 ZS EV LR face lift model.
There is no way we would be covering this many miles in ICE car, purely of a cost basis.
With the PHEV you have to remember that at service time, you are servicing two masters.
It's a hybrid mixture of part electric / part ICE.
So, you have to satisfy both the ICE and then any EV service requirements.
The HS is larger car of course, offering more space which will be nice.
It is very important to take every opportunity to use that limited EV range on short journeys of course, it can be a bit of a challenge preventing that ICE from kicking in on the HS if you are not careful with your right foot.
Use of the HVAC to heat the cabin etc is very likely to engage the engine, which is a very odd / strange set up TBH.
It is not like this on the VW as it has a split heater core system, part electric part coolant supplied from the ICE.
Your wall box, it will be only pulling 3.5 K.Watts and therefore this increases the time factor by 50%.
But the pack in PHEV is small, so this of little concern really.
Are you on a cheaper off peak tariff ?.
Is the HS PHEV equipped with a delay timer facility like the ZS EV facelift ?.
Will it fully charge the small battery at the slower rate in that off peak window / time scale.
The pack is small, so I can't see this being a problem.
When you feel comfortable to sell on your second car, the savings from this should more than cover the extra expense of running the PHEV over the BEV.
How many miles are you covering in a year ?.
