Plug-in hybrid vehicles that don’t regularly recharge their batteries are certainly not capable of consuming as spectacularly low fuel consumption as we would like: this is nothing new, fleet managers have been at war with users for a long time, making it much more expensive through their own fault. operation.

The heavier, stronger, and faster a plug-in hybrid, the greater the contrast between the two modes of use. The North American Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, for example, measured the fuel consumption of Bentley Bentayga. With a charged battery, the heavy battery goes 30 miles, but that’s enough to come out below an average of 5.3 - wonderful, isn’t it?
The situation is much worse if we do not charge the batteries: in this case, the average consumption per 100 kilometers jumps to 11.2 liters. It’s not so bad with a 449-horsepower, 2.6-ton hippopotamus that otherwise accelerates to 100 km / h in 5.5 seconds and has a top speed of 254 km / h.
