Sounds good to me! Just a quick question - I've read that using the sat nav in the adaptive hybrid mode optimises the use of the battery. Can you put roundtrips in the sat nav? Say I'm going somewhere 30 miles away can you tell the sat nav you're also coming back so it'll use half the battery on the way out and half on the way back?
That is what I do. I program the entire trip so that the sat nav determines where to drive electric en to arrive home with an empty battery.

If on the way back I see that I have more battery left than the raining trip needs I switch to electric individual my self.

With the function "e zones" it also automatically switches to electric in selected city areas by geofencing. You can see this in the app section. I think London is in the list. The list is updated regularly.
