    I’ve had the Enyaq 5 moths now. Apart from keeping an eye on it when charging overnight for any connection or App problems I pretty much ignore anything to do with efficiency or running costs. I know it will give me 3.5 to 4.3 miles/kWh on average, I could probably improve on that but to be honest I really can’t be bothered! As it stands it’s currently giving me 40 miles for 75p, compared to almost £7 in the previous Ateca. Over the 3 year lease (18,000 miles) that will cost me under £340, that’s a massive £2,900 saving compared to the Ateca. In perspective my monthy outgoings on fuel have decreased by almost £80, roughly around an 80- 90% drop. So while I could drive very carefully and eek out few percent increase in the mile/kWh efficiency it represents almost nothing in the actual electricity costs @ 7.5p/kWh.

    You put £7 in ur far when you had fossil fuel?? Who does that?

    or are you just guessing? making ur post highly inaccurate as I could go and put £7 in my car i would get more that 40mils on the clocks
