Did you have a look at the YouTube video I put up?
a chap whe regularly drives from north Scotland to Milton Keynes for work and does it easily with the smaller Enyaq battery, the iv60.
it’s a change of mindset that is required to run an ev.
with ICE cars, you fill up, then fill up again when the low fuel light comes on.
with EVs you do it differently.
The optimum way is to keep on local/medium journeys, the “tank” filled up with daily charges, it’s best for the battery not to hold it at 100% for long lengths of time.
Fir the longer journeys,like the Enyaq driver does, is you fill up before the journey to 100% then charge on you long journey when the car is around 20%.
You then fill to 80% (the way fast charging works is between 20-80% it’s charges at high speed, then slows down above that to keep the battery optimised)
then carry on your journey, like a foid/toilet stop.
A smaller battery like the 60 takes less time to fill to 80% and weighs less than the 80 and the difference in top speed and 0-60 is negligible.
if most of your journeys are the average, then the smaller battery is fine.
Its just a different mindset required for evs
