"How many miles on battery? When should I charge? Is it even worth plugging in for a short trip?"
Plug-in hybrids can be the cheapest cars on the road — or more expensive than an old diesel. It all depends on when you charge, how far you drive between charges, and whether you're burning petrol when the grid would be cheaper. Most PHEV drivers never find out because nobody hands them the numbers.
PHEVMax gives you the numbers — and the strategy. And if you're still deciding which PHEV to buy, use the calculator below to compare any two cars before you put down a deposit.
Built by a PHEV driver who got tired of guessing.
See pounds saved — not a brochure number. Pick the car you used to drive and watch the gap grow with every trip.
Know when electric is cheaper than petrol. Know when a public charger costs more than a tank. Never plug in for no reason again.
Every PHEV has different battery size, EV range, and real-world MPG. Type in your route and we tailor the advice to your exact car — how far on electric, how much petrol, whether to charge at the far end.
Above what petrol price does burning fuel become cheaper than the grid? We calculate it in real time based on your tariff.
