We own a Ford C Max Energi. Since Nov 2017 I have been keeping separate records of the energy use for the electric drive, the IC engine, and the combined energy use of both platforms.

The long and short of their competitive performance is EV mode 108 mph e charged with solar power costing me 8 cents a kWh averaged about $30 per 1,000 miles. The IC mode cost $85 per 1,000 miles at 32 mpg. Combined $57.50 per 1,000 miles used at 50%/50% ratio.

We are switching to a BEV in two years. We want to pass the car on to our daughter so she can benefit from electric drive like we have. She lives in town and can do at least 90% of her driving in EV mode.
