Assumptions: 16,000 km/yr (CSO Ireland average). Fuel: petrol €2.00/L, diesel €2.20/L. EV: smart-night €0.17/kWh (80%), day €0.30/kWh (20%). PHEV split: 45% electric, 55% petrol. WLTP consumption figures used where available; real-world usage is typically 10-20% higher. Road tax uses Irish CO2-based motor tax bands (NEDC regime, 2008-2020 registrations).
Home EV charger setup
The smart-night savings above require a home charger. Without one, you'll charge on public networks at significantly higher rates.

estimated per year
PHEV maintenance is costlier than standard petrol 3-Series due to dual-system complexity, high-voltage diagnostics, and expensive battery thermal management. Budget additional €300–€600 for battery reconditioning or thermal fluid replacement by year 4–5. Without regular charging (at least 3–4 times weekly), this car performs like an inefficient petrol vehicle with poor real-world economy.
