We bought a BMW 225e X-drive PHEV earlier this year, to replace our 6 year old 2 series petrol Active Tourer, and are getting used to it. On petrol it has a range of around 400 miles, and on a full charge, around 50 miles. Taking advantage of our solar panels, I usually charge up when the sun shines, using the 13Amp domestic supply. Some years ago a chap was offering wall chargers for free, under a government scheme, but it doesn't want to work with our car, for some reason. The car went back to the dealer, where they checked the cable and it worked, but not for me. But, I'm not convinced the cost of a new wall box is justified. Yet.
So, free charging, and have only filled up with petrol twice since, after 200 mile trips. We'll have to see how things go over the next few months, but from only filling up with petrol every couple of weeks to having to charge up when the sun shines, to maintain a full charge is something I'm getting used to.
The control system is from the iX, and is comprehensive , way above my needs, options for almost everything, but I've found settings which suit me.
The sound system sounds quite good, but we usually listen to Radio 2. Yes, we're getting on in years.
Still wouldn't go fully electric until I have to, and whether hybrid would have suited us if we didn't have solar panels, I can't say, but if push came to shove it would been the preferred option.
