I have a Lexus LBX non plug in hybrid & I get late 60’s mpg in the summer & early 60’s mpg in the winter, I can start the car from indoors very handy to warm the car & defrost it as ideal for me in my 70’s not that I go out much in the winter if I can help it, don’t tow a caravan any more been there done that & towed all over Europe.
Also even if I wanted an EV ( I don’t) I could not because I would have to run a cable over the pavement ( trip hazard) although I still want to do my bit hence the NON plugin hybrid.
I hope it’s on private land when you do that. It’s illegal in the UK to leave a car running on the public road unattended. My PHEV has the option to run the electric heater / aircon remotely (engine doesn’t run) but I’ve never done it.
