Hybrid Car - Electricity vs Petrol Costs

4 replies

Hereforthedramaz · 01/09/2022 10:30

Hi,
I've been power googling but struggling to find an answer so wondered if anyone else has found one somewhere.

I'd like to work out at what point (electricity unit prices versus petrol) it becomes cheaper to use petrol rather than charging my hybrid.

I have a Golf GTE 1.4 (2017 if it matters) but VW only want to tell me the (optimistic) overall MPG.

I recently ordered Toyota Prius 21 hybrid. I tested it as a petrol car and as an electric one. The electric version is much more cheaper, just as a manager from importing cars to Australia <a class="break-all" href="https://www.bestpeoplemovers.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.bestpeoplemovers.com.au/</a> said. I thought a lot about what car should I pick, but the design of the new Prius caught my eye and I couldnt refuse it)

Following as I have exactly the same question! (different car)

Don't a lot of people charge overnight with a lower tariff? That's going to complicate matters a bit - if your battery is 50% charged with electricity at 9p /kWh and 50% at 30 p/ kWh from some supermarket car park the maths starts to get trickier?
