I think the ‘new’ figures are about right for many cars, we had a e2008 which was quoted with about 211 mile range, in summer we could get around 200 , with care but in the cold winter time i wouldn’t like to push it much more than 140miles, we have now a MG4 , that quotes 270 miles range, in the summer with care we can get that if not more, but now we have a cold snap we wouldnt push it beyond 200miles, that said the problem seems to be on short runs (which we do 90% of the time) we may do 5 miles there , 5 back, the heater is on full warming the car all the way there and then again on the way back, the odd longer run we find after 5mins or so we can turn the heater off or set much lower now the car is nice and warm and the efficiency goes back up , it depends on what type of driving you do, if its local short trips the range will be much lower , does that matter if only doing local runs as a couple of hundred miles is still two weeks for us and we charge for pennies over night anyway when we need to, on longer runs the range is better and again doesn’t worry us . just think what type of driving you will be doing BEFORE you order a EV and ask yourself how often you drive more than a couple of 100miles a day. i think people often get to worried about range, its a different mind set you need with a EV
