Reply To: What EV range are you getting?

    The highest range our Hyundai Kona (July 2021) has had at 100% charge is 367. Over this summer we have regularly had above 345 miles range.

    Our current miles per Kwh average over the last month stands at 5.97.

    We too have seen our 100% range and our miles per Kwh increase. I wonder if this is due to drivers making choices (whether to have air con on, increasing regenerative braking, running in Eco mode) which leads to more efficient driving. Perhaps there needs to be a ‘running in’ period for EV drivers as there used to be for diesel vehicles!

    Our current mileage is 15,641 so at todays electricity prices and based on the above M/Kwh the cost for those miles would be about £760. This works out at £0.05 per mile. Apparently: “On a per mile basis, the fuel costs in the range of 14p – 19p pence per mile for a petrol car; the fuel costs around 15p – 19p pence per mile for a diesel car.” Using the lowest of the above figures his would give a saving in fuel costs of between £1400-£1500!
