Hi @kezo
I’m abroad on holiday at present so won’t be driving the car again for another week. I’m due to fill up with petrol when we get home, so will work out my latest mpg equivalent then although, in a way, I feel like I might as well give up on it.
4,500 miles in and I think I’m already convinced that, due to my mixed use driving, the saving in running costs isn’t sufficient to offset the faff of having to recharge the car after each use. Maybe if things improve a lot this summer I might start feeling more positive about it.
As an aside, I had a look on the app (which still is cr*p, showing EV range in km) to see where the valet parking company had parked the car and on the journey to their secure compound the car had reached 62mph. I’m pretty sure that the max speed limit on those roads is 40mph and there are speed cameras. I’d hope they’d know where they are as they’re doing that run continuously, but ……
On that note, be careful with your 83mph. I live in Gloucestershire and, like many Police force areas, the tolerance level for speeding triggers at the speed limit + 10% + 2mph, so 79mph and above and you are in speeding ticket territory. They like speed camera vans in these parts, including on bridges that pass over motorways. They also have a new style camera van that can get you from so far away that they’ve nabbed you before you even see it!
