So when the car has gone beyond battery range the ICE is lugging around the dead battery at the expense of mpg and performance.

Absolutely. I'm aware of the disadvantages, but due to my commute being within the electric range, it works for me.

Yes the batteries weigh a good amount and lugging them for no reason is less than ideal but who buys a PHEV and dosent charge it (except company car drivers trying to reduce their BIK payments). Just for info, my T8 will return up to 38mpg on a long journey with battery hold engaged (so minimal electric assistance) cruising within 15% of the national speed limit. If I were to keep to or below the national speed limit, I'm sure 40mpg would be possible. Over the last 10K miles, its averaged nearly 70mpg with that being a good mix of short and long journeys. Not too bad for a 2.5 ton SUV with the aerodynamics of a brick. Most people choose the car that best suits their own situation and normally, they go in eyes open to the benefits and disadvantages of the vehicle type they end up choosing. I would hope that the vast majority of people that choose a PHEV over a standard ICE driven vehicle or Volvo's version of a MHEV (which is only essentially a good stop/start system) understand what they are getting and so its not really something that one 'forgets'.

From an XC90 owner with a B5 petrol engine (2023 model), I get anything from 14mpg in heavy East London traffic to 42mpg on the M25 at 65mph.

Never seen above 34mpg! Taking it from Scotland to France this year so hoping for an improvement. Tyres are inflated to their eco pressures too. Still on the stock 19" Conti EcoContact 6 tyres.
