Hi all,

Just wondering what range people tend to be getting.

I have a rwd select and tend to get 4.75miles per kw. On a 77kw battery.

I charge to 100%

I’d say that’s good, at least compared to me. I’ve had my Premium RWD about 6 weeks now. I’ve done 1300 miles so far. I can’t get better that 4 m/kwh and that was only once on a 90 mile trip of mostly motorway.

I am trying to stick to the recommended 80% charge unless I know I am going on a long journey. I’d say fully charged the range I am getting is around 280 miles. I am driving steadily, no fast acceleration. Pretty disappointed so far to be honest. I know I’ll never get the perfect world 354 from a full charge but did expect to be around 300 miles, outside of winter low temps.

My range changes based on the way I have driven also. On the motorway it did reduce but around the houses its back.up. for example now I have 52% and 204 miles left.

I know it's preference but I have read with lithium iron you can go to 100% charge.
Shame your not getting the milage you expect. Its only the weight of the roof glass and larger wheels reducing your range to mine hence the 354 miles.

AWD Premium, with 21" alloys - getting about 230 miles on longer drives, which is around 2.9mi/kWh (just did around 800 miles for a holiday). Obviously that's way off the WLTP figures, but that was at spirited motorway speeds & fortunately near Ionity chargers.

Day to day commute is a little better, but still only around 3.4mi/kwh but it will dip quickly if you boot it.

A lot of reviewers were talking about how their test vehicles were getting 4.4mi/kWh with mixed driving & I just don't see how that is possible.

We started off to Devon on Sunday morning , the range showed 390 mls the night before , as soon as we set off the range dropped to 310 .
I thought is this due to extra weight in car ( 1 suitcase and some other bits and bobs ) , 1st recharge has put it up to 330 mls .
It was showing 4.00 kWh when we arrived .

Just done the math, total miles travelled since new.

1629 / charge history total (386kw) =4.2 mile

AWD extended range, 20" wheels & heat pump, I typically get 3.6mi/kwh. Charged it to 100% twice, but only got predicted range of around 290 miles not the suggested 325. Not bad I suppose.
