Finally had the smart meters fitted and managed to get an overnight EV charge rate. 8.5p/KW

I live Saddleworth area, somewhat hilly. Full charge on the battery, 1 - 3 degrees dependant if I was up top or down the bottom of a hill and the most I could manage was 14 miles. I had the heater on at 24C, eco button selected and drove super gentle using regen where possible. I assume thats about the norm? I did do some 45mph speeds where allowed.
Either way, its much less expensive than petrol and the onboard/App charge timer works well.
What would 14 miles at 8.5p kw work out at in miles per gallon?
I would probably get mid 20's come summer.
2019 2.4
 
I think its costing me around 60p per overnight charge to fill the battery. I don't think they ever fully discharge, is it 30% min?

Petrol is around £5.20 gallon in the UK so I estimate 126 mpg worst case scenario (14 miles per charge) using the 8.5p night rate. Roughly.
 
Mine is a 2016 and battery was 13.8kwh but from (nearly) new I used the Phev Watchdog app which showed it was from memory around 98 or 99% SOH and it used 10kw max in a charge so it retained 2kwh before the engine kicked in. It now has 70% SOH after 80,000 miles and correspondingly takes a maximum of a bit over 7kwh. Sounds like you're also taking about 7kw (7*8.5=60) and I agree with your 520/60 * 14 = 121mpg
