This can be true, and why I encourage people who are thinking about going electric to skip hybrids and go straight to full-EV, unless they're doing lots of long distance driving in remote areas. For example our trip to Broken Hill, consumption was 7.5L/100km, in the hybrid Kluger. Normally it's 5.5, in around town driving. 7.5 is still respectable, but not great. I get 5.7 between Bathurst and Lithgow, lots of hills so therefore lots of regenerative braking. The Tesla on the other hand actually gains charge, if we drive to Sydney down the Blue Mountains. Imagine a petrol or diesel where the tank filled up, as you drove. That's what EVs do.
