In comparison, a modern eco VW UP! is around 2.8L/100km in mixed driving, so 1.5 is about a 2x improvement over a good ICE. My old diesel polo does around 4L/10

In comparison, a modern eco VW UP! is around 2.8L/100km in mixed driving, so 1.5 is about a 2x improvement over a good ICE. My old diesel polo does around 4L/100km, so 2.5x for that one.
Not bad, definitely a hell of a lot better than the early Prius, but definitely nowhere near BEV efficiencies. I feel like a small-battery BEV is a better proposition for many, especially as pure BEVs have significantly better pure-electric drive-train efficiency than plugins, and less maintenance.
