This will be a little cumbersome, and difficult for most to provide details. And on a disclaimer, all results will vary.

I will update after i go through my first tank.


Lets see if we can do this....


Respond with the following:


Total Miles(since last fill up)
Daily Commute Distance
Charge at work (Y/N)
Charge throughout the day (Y/N) N would also mean only charge at night and you dont top-off battery during the day
Average Air Temp This plays a big factor on engine gas consumption in colder states
Prefer windows down or up This plays factor on wind resistance and A/C usage with reduced EV range.



This is just for fun, nothing scientific behind it, but should gain some traction throughout the PHEV community.

Total miles 1,326 (w/ 50 left in tank)
I don't commute: average 16 miles day
charge at work N
charge day N
air temp 64
windows; depends on weather

A huge factor left out is wind direction and magnitude. A well know cool app is Dark Sky and one feature is hour by hour wind direction and speed in an easy to read way. I look at this a lot on trips, and even use it to adjust my speed - a little faster with a tailwind, a little slower with a headwind.

Some folks that commute may generally have a favorable wind in both directions, and others unfavorable. This can really make results not make sense without this data.

Personally I believe applying these factors to PHEVs is almost irrelevant, considering that mpg can swing by over 50 mpg if you are not considering total energy use. But they do affect actual efficiency which BEV and EV owners can use.

Total miles: 1765 (with 68 gas miles left)
Average commute: Was 28 miles
Charge at work: No
Charge throughout the day: Yes, via 240 line in my garage
Ave. Air Temp: varied greatly as this tank went from mid-March to mid-May (Northeast)
Windows: Down

The only reason I got gas with so many miles left was that I had to embark on a 300 mile trip with no charging opportunities.

I bought my Niro PHEV on 3/8/2018. I currently have about 2,900 miles on it now and have only made one visit to the gas station on 4/18/18, and my gasoline range is currently at 180 miles.


My daily commute is 16 mile round-trip, although I frequently run errands during my lunch break. I only charge at home with my 240v charging station.

YESS very good variable which could totally affect the outcome.



My first commute to work today was 110mi round trip, elevation change, highway 70mph, i only got around 20-21miles EV range, and was at 69MPG off the trip when i got back home. No L2 Charging at work (only for GOVT vehicle), im going to search out for a 110v plug over the next few weeks and see if i can trickle charge.
