It’s true that most ICE cars overstate their MPG, although not always to the same degree. Also, whilst ICE cars will return less MPG in the winter months, it’s nowhere near the same degree of drop that you get with an EV. My petrol car is about 5-10% worse (maximum) in the winter, yet many EVs drop by a significantly higher percentage (some by as much as a third I believe). As I keep saying, I’m sure that all of this will be resolved over time as battery technology improves – which it needs to in order to get more people comfortable with switching, especially when the current running cost benefits are eroded as new taxation models kick in to maintain the astronomical tax take from motorists!
Ive said many of time on here manufacturers should be quoting the expected winter range of a BEV. Even the normal range is far off when comparing WLTP figurers of an ICE. Imply put WLTP is not a suitable test for electric vehicles!
My niece has had an Enyak 80 for about a year now and she gets about 250 miles in normal circumstances, 80ish miles short of the acclaimed and lower over this winter depending on use ofheater. As a social worker it does her and her husband has 330i so there happy I guess having best of both worlds.
If one came along within my budget with a guaranteed 350-400mile range over winter I’d try one..
