Those MPG figures in the charts are completely bogus, they take the miles travelled on gas and electric but just divide by the gas volume, ignoring the cost of the electricity.

In Europe, electricity costs more than gasoline after Ukraine unless you have your own solar array.

And then there's the loss of dragging two powertrains around all the time when one them is useless after 30 minutes and don't even be thinking about E-charging from the (V8) engine unless you want to see 10-12mpg

Regular turbo for the best all rounder, at least for those of us that need 5 seats and a hitch.

well it’s a good thing not all of us live in Europe nor do we care about the cost of electricity but rather the convenience of no gas station stops. I’d happily pay more for electric miles than gas miles for this convenience. Also, the car is not useless after 30 mins.
