What is the realistic range we'll get out of the battery? Had it plugged in til battery said full...27miles. Got no extras, other than radio, on.
Is this what we'll be looking at...and nowhere near the 57 (I think) that is advertised.
Any tweaks/setting changes anyone can recommend before we have a play?
TIA.

A hybrid battery/motor assists the combustion engine and if used like that will get great MPG , the battery will charge when going down hill and when braking. The 9 year old V60 D6 could get well over 100 mpg if driven accordingly. A hybrid will have a much smaller battery than a full electric car. the best of both worlds.
