    Good to know how these things work for when you really do need them  – hopefully I swop out my Kona for an Elroq end of next week too.

    Kona has averaged 4.2 with a 64 battery giving average range of 268 miles.

    The Elroq has a 77 usable battery and 3.7 appears to be the average a typical driver gets in normal mode ie 285 miles.
    So on long journeys my driving style will no longer be in eco with a max speed of 65mph.

    I suspect I will get more than 3.7 – my driving style has changed over the 3 years I have had the Kona to what works for EV – I still think the best way to learn to adapt is to have the power display on – that way you can see what works for any specific EV in real time.
    That is what I will be doing with the Elroq alongside learning all the new tech – what I find useful or not – amazing how tech progresses every 3 years – I feel very fortunate to have Motability 😁👍
