Welcome to the forum and your new car! PHEV driving is not that much different to driving a pure 'ICE' car.
To make it as economical as possible, (which presumably is why you bought it) always use the flappy paddles for MAX REGEN and to slow. This will also make your brake pads last longer.
My eNiro had it's 3 year service a few weeks ago and the brake pads were only 10% worn after 16,000 miles. :o I use max regen at all times.
I have had a PHEV a few years ago. They are Brilliant! ENJOY! :D
79 cars so far! Now 71 Reg eNiro 4+ Yacht Blue.
