I bought the 2020 Ford Kuga/Escape PHEV this summer, which has been recalled because of battery issues, thus forcing me to drive with discharged battery. Even then, we frequently drive 30-50% of our range on pure electric, because of regenerative charging. In practice it means that our big dirty 2.5L engine, even though it pollutes more, actually gets us to 20 km/l in the city. I'm not saying that's great, but if i could charge the car, all those city drives would effectively be pure electric. On the open road i think we currently average about 18 km/l, and i have a heavy foot :)
In comparison, my previous car a 2016 Ford Focus EcoBoost, ran on average 10-12 km/l.
