'After a fuel-only first weekend, we haven’t bought petrol since. Our charging pattern now looks like the one we had running a BEV on lease, not the occasional top-up usually reported as associated with PHEVs. 'The engine has run maybe 10 to 15 minutes total since that first weekend. 'We barely think about public charging or petrol prices day to day, which wasn’t something we expected going in.'Every fill-up now happens at home for pennies on Octopus Go, at a purchase price much closer to an equivalent ICE car than to a big-battery BEV, without the range anxiety a smaller-battery BEV would bring.'The eVED pay-per-mile charge, when it kicks in, we expect will be irritating, but we considered it before buying and it didn’t change the underlying argument for us: still half the BEV cost, and cheaper than fuel duty.'Another reader, Anthony Prior, doubles down on how he hardly ever needs to refuel because he mainly only uses the EV range: 'We bought a PHEV as we only use the car locally and go out of area perhaps once a month. 'We are with Octopus on their night charging tariff which is excellent and charge two or three times a week. I topped up the petrol tank for the first time since before Christmas yesterday.'
