Re: PHEVs or EVs - Anyone done the maths?

Our Volvo XC60 PHEV gets around 68-72km of range of full electric which is enough to cover our daily commutes. In the case we need more we just fire up the engine & you can drive as far as you like. Car currently achieves 1.4-1.6L/100km. Last full tank of fuel yielded 3350kms from 55L as the car mostly gets around with electricity. Combined power is 340kw/710Nm which has shamed a fair few at the lights.
As for the Sealion.. I had one for a day last week & I was looking for excuses not to drive it. The powertrain wasn't too bad, but the rest was just horrendous. Material quality, ergonomics, interior smelt of chemicals, infotainment useless, couldn't have a conversation driving at 100kph with the sunroof tilted.. all yours for 58k drive away. No thanks.
