Unfortunately solar panels would have to be on the front of our house and they are just too ugly for the level of payback. For now. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Thanks Jack, it seems from everyones experience that without having the battery charged the L460 hybrids do return the best MPG, as I expected. It's a decision about offsetting the cost of the purchase vs day to day fuel efficiency it seems! Thanks again

We have an average-sized 6kWh solar array connected to a 17.2kWh battery, enough for us to run the house for a day. We also have a home car charger.

With Octopus Intelligence Go, electricity between 23:30 and 05:30 is 7p per kWh. When the car gets plugged in, Octopus allocates an overnight time slot to charge the car to a set level by a certain time. So for me, it's 80% charge by 7 am. The solar battery is also set to charge overnight, so by 5:30 it's at 100%. After 05:30 the house runs off the battery. Solar generated during the day tops up the battery and the excess goes back to the grid, who pay 15p per kWh. At 23:30, the house switches to using electricity from the grid, rinse and repeat. 2024 P550e Autobiography

Do people think the P550e is worth it is versus p460e, including the dynamic enhancements?

I have no idea if you can set the charging time on the car, but if you were charging from a standard 13 amp socket you could use a plug in on/off timer for the 12.30 / 5.30 period, quite cheap and could be handy.

Many thanks both.

I'm toying between p460e HSE versus P550e AB and therefore there is a fairly big £ difference, versus 460AB and 550AB.

I collected 10.000 mls in three months on German Autobahn, Swiss & Italian alps with my P550e.
For me it’s the smoothest RR I’ve ever owned.

The ride is comfortable and rather gliding, with surprisingly precise and direct steering. The vehicle oscillates slightly in the longitudinal axis, which is typical of RR, but should be a little less pronounced for my taste, especially as it is still present in dynamic mode.

As I have never driven an L460 without dynamic response, I would definitely recommend testing one beforehand.

For my taste, the driving feel of the P550e is perfect and balanced, it just shouldn't be any less damped and precise.

Great photo - thanks.
