EV performance
I would like to point out the following performance flaw on the Santa Fe PHEV
I previously owned the Ford Kuga PHEV and during the year I drove it I never once had to fill the tank. This was because all my driving was local and rarely did I exceed a 30-40 km trip.
I have been driving the Santa Fe now for 3 months under similar conditions and I find that it constantly reverts to petrol mode, any time the heater is turned on, AC is used or I need to clear the windows. I know the Santa Fe is a bigger SUV but I figured that it would drive in EV mode once that option was selected. I would have stayed with the Kuga if I’d known what I know now.
For the record, I don’t drive fast, I select EV mode and I never operate in sports mode.
