Very true. That makes a big difference to the argumentsPoint of order !! 18.4 kWh does not equal 65.71MJ. 18.4 x 3.6 = 66.24
Dunno what you have, but JIC, pay very close attention to the Ts'n'Cs of that - I know you don't have a Tesla, but people who have allowed theirs to completely discharge find that they are responsible for the full replacement cost.Not yet - the big unknown here is what the cost of replacement batteries will be in 8-10 years' time (the battery is purchased and hast an 8 year warranty).
The car has a range of 350 miles
In view of what he's written subsequently, I presume he mean that it can travel a total of 350 miles with a set of fully-charged batteries and a full tank of petrol.Do you mean "range", or that it can travel 350 miles on one charge?The car has a range of 350 miles

I think you were clear - but clifford1 would have had to read more than one of your posts to get all the informationYes, that's correct (I thought I'd been clear that the range on battery only was about 40miles - clearly I hadn't)
Is it an Ampera? Oh, hang on, they're 54kW....

err .. yes... as stated four posts above
Welcome to the world of greenwash. When doing official fuel consumption figures, the car will be tuned to minimise fuel consumption regardless of it's affect on other things (like driveability and so on). The Toyota Pious* came out with ridiculous official consumption figures that no-one can get even close to (even further adrift than people are used to with plain petrol/diesel cars) - and I've heard suggestions that the official tests will get updated to take account of batteries. One trick that would be easy to do is to start with full batteries and run them flat - as in damagingly flat, flatter than you'd ever do normally. That's energy not accounted for by measuring petrol added.In other words it's a big con!
