CarvicoHyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid
Every EPA figure for the 2022–2026 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, and a calculator that turns them into your cost per mile — because the headline number on the window sticker is an average of two very different cars, weighted by a guess about your driving.
What it costs you
The EPA prints 35 MPG and 77 MPGe for this car, then blends them into 51 by assuming 60% of your miles run on electricity. Change that one assumption to match your life and the answer moves a long way. Nothing here is stored or sent anywhere.
Every model year
Straight from the EPA certification database, one row per year. "EPA assumes electric" is the
combinedUF column — the share of miles the rating credits to the battery.
| Year | Gas only | MPGe | EPA assumes electric | Electric range | kWh/100mi | Tucson Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 35 | 80 | 62% | 33 | 42 | 37 |
| 2023 | 35 | 80 | 62% | 33 | 42 | 37 |
| 2024 | 35 | 80 | 62% | 33 | 42 | 37 |
| 2025 | 35 | 77 | 60% | 32 | 44 | 35 |
| 2026 | 35 | 77 | 60% | 32 | 44 | 36 |
What drivers report
Owners who use the EPA's own My MPG tool have filed figures for this car. That is 3 people in total — small enough that these are anecdotes, not an average. They are here because they are the only owner-reported numbers that exist in public federal data, not because they settle anything.
| Year | Drivers | Average reported | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 1 | 60.1 | 60–60 |
| 2024 | 2 | 118.7 | 107–133 |
Why some of these look impossible
Across the EPA's plug-in data, drivers have filed averages like 558 and even 1,174 MPG. Those are not typos. MPG is miles divided by gallons, and a plug-in owner who charges every night buys almost no gasoline — so the divisor approaches zero and the number runs away. MPG cannot describe a plug-in hybrid. That is the whole reason the calculator above works in cost per mile instead.
How this is worked out
Cost per mile is the only metric that survives a car with two fuel tanks:
+ (1 − electric share) × (price per gallon ÷ gas-only MPG)
Your electric share is your daily electric miles divided by your daily miles, where daily
electric miles is capped at the car's 32-mile rated range per charge. The
kWh figure is EPA's combE, measured at the wall, so charging losses
are already inside it — you are not paying for them twice.
Every figure on this page comes from the U.S. EPA's public fuel economy database and its web services, both federal public-domain data. We add no estimates of our own. Where a number is missing it shows as a dash rather than a guess.
Add your own numbers
The gap on this page is real driving. Federal data has, at most, a handful of drivers per car, and no service or repair figures at all. If you own one, send what you actually get — it goes on this page with the count shown honestly next to it.
The app behind the guides
Carvico is a private car logbook for iPhone: fuel with real full-tank MPG, service history, receipt scanning, reminders that use miles and months, and CSV/PDF export. Your records stay on your iPhone and your own iCloud — we run no server that holds them.
