    Are we assuming that the figures quoted are for a 100% charge. They will be even lower than when you have to change only to 80%

     

    Obviously if you’re charging to 80% you’re getting 4/5 if the range.  However, if you put half a tank of petrol you’d not be expecting it to go as far.

    EV database gives you tested distances although some criteria are a little extreme for UK conditions.

    Whilst the concept of simply taking 20/30% off the WLTP range is simple to operate and can be programmed into a website, maybe linking to EV Database would have been a better result.  For example, the Kona will fly past 80% of its given range unless you drive particularly badly.  The Mokka (according to multiple experiences) says 210 miles and delivers up to 100 miles less in winter.  A set 30% loss in winter would still be optimistic for the Mokka and a little pessimistic for the Kona.
