    No towing and with only 1 person in the driving seat. Even the salesman thought i was “embellishing” the numbers i was telling him (without saying so). Last Thursday evening (1 day after picking the car up) i went out at 00:20am so that i had some clear roads with no traffic or hold ups whatsoever and i recorded a video. The weather was bang on 0 degrees and i achieved 1 mile per 1 percent of charge. No heated seats and the temp was set at a modest 19c for the interior. This has been purely town driving and the fastest the car has been was 40 in a 40 zone. After doing the video myself i done a bit of youtubing and it appears that others are seeing the same numbers as i am. It appears that town or motorway driving makes zero difference. On this video from 07:06 , the guy states he has 24% charge which allows 39 kilometers of range. Which works out to around 25 miles. Pretty much identical to what im getting with town driving. Plus i never had the heated seats on and my temp was a bit lower than his. Kinda wish i had done a youtube drive through before committing to the lease.
