New 2022 Nissan Qashqai e-POWER hybrid joins range

I did a trip to Ipswich over the weekend, 166 miles each way, dual carriageways & Motorways all the way...no holdups!
I drove at 60-64mph on way there in cruise mode ECO+B or ECO+D most of the time, e-pedal only when in town & managed to get into the 50mpgs.
To get that I also dropped it into EV mode every time the battery reached 3/4 level or going downhill,
At that speed the battery was taking approx 10 minutes to get back up to 3/4 level.

Coming back I drove at 65-70 (as the car had passed the 500 miles mark), plus it was dark, but i only got into the mid 40's mpg.
Also it took longer to get the battery back up to 3/4 level travelling at 70.

hopefully over time as everything beds in, the mpg will improve.

Interesting. Just hit 700 miles on mine. I'll see what I get next week on a round trip of just over 200 miles. Mostly motorway.

It would be interesting to also hear from others how high the charge on the battery is getting, I'm finding that as soon as the battery is around 75% charged the ICE cuts out, I think I've only got it over 75% 2 or 3 times & that was motorway driving.
If it never charges above 75% we're never going to get the full range of the EV.
