Been a 2016 40e driver for over a month now, the first week was a proper honeymoon - my commute is 17kms with some nasty hills so I can't drive the whole trip on electricity alone but of course the way back is downhill so I can pick up the kids from daycare and still have 2kms to spare. Average consumption for that week was 4,1liters/100km or 57 mpg.
But then the next week the polar freeze from the North Pole engulfed much of Europe and we had 2 weeks of frozen hell - the coldest was -26,5C and the warmest(!) was -9C...this car does not like cold. Not only does the charging take forever, the batteries are dead before you can start that wonky Spotify-client on the iDrive. Average for that week was 10.8 liters/100km or 21 mpg and on the worst day (-26,5C) a whopping 15.8l/100km or 15 mpg - but I drove like a maniac that day so I could get indoors asap.
This week we're back to normal (3C) and Monday was almost all electric, maybe 1,6 liters/100km and today will be almost the same - still at work.
