Hybrid Consumption

The consumption of a hybrid car can be excellent… or disappointing, depending on the type of hybridisation (HEV, PHEV, MHEV), the journey, and your driving style. In the city and on mixed routes, hybrids benefit from regenerative braking and electric driving; on the motorway, the advantage can significantly decrease, especially if the vehicle is heavy or poorly suited to your usage.Here, we compile real measurements, comparisons, and tips to understand daily consumption (city / road / motorway), estimate the cost per 100 km, and optimise your results (anticipation, driving modes, tyre pressure, management of charging for PHEVs). The goal: to know what you can really expect… and how to consume less.
