    I’ve an E3008 and am currently only getting about 140 miles per full charge as well. However, I do at least six 1/2 mile trips per day and two 2 mile trips. The best that I saw in summer (August when I got the car) was about 230 miles. It’s a shocking return for a car with a stated 326 mile WLTP. Lovely car inside and out, but the low range has certainly soured my relationship with it and I wouldn’t touch another electric Peugeot. The software was all over the place for the first 3 months that I had the car. I kept getting warning lights coming up and messages like “traction control fault” … or “find a garage” … or something not working, long delays for the screens to activate/populate etc It was worrying, but they went off after a while. I haven’t really had any more false lights come on in the last 6 weeks or so, which I’m assuming was fixed by on over the air update. However, I still get the occasional instance of losing all of my preset radio stations and it’s a pain to have to redo them all again. Now we have the inconvenience of having to do the recall for the ball joint issue, which is a pain as my dealer is 40 miles away, but is a worry in itself.

    At 0 degrees C your battery is probably 25% less efficient, a heat pump will draw 2 kWh to precondition the battery, I believe the Peugeot does not have a heat pump so will be less efficient, Kezo should be along and explain things.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
