It would be nice to know what real life range members are getting from their EV’s. How often do you have to charge with normal run about mileage. The BMW i4 on order has a range they say of up to 298 miles, can one get anywhere near that.

Our Vivaro has a range of 143 and initially that could nearly be achieved but over the years we have had it it’s gone down considerably whereas we we’re getting 3.1 mpkw h during the summer this year we are getting 2.7 fortunately only a few days left with it now particularly as last winter it dropped below 2 during the cold December

Have a look in the Hyundai Kona thread you will see many are exceeding the manufacturers 300 mile range. One of only a few cars Ive heard that do that!
Few other cars on the scheme such as the Ariya claimed 339 miles, whether it will acheive I don’t know but alot depend how use the go go pedal and of caurse range is lower in the colder months.

This is usually quoted as a reliable source of real world range 🙂

<p style=”text-align: right;”>I’ve just put my Kona on the charge today after getting 297 miles. That’s the best I’ve everyone as I usually get around 220.</p>
I’ve no idea why as I ain’t changed my routes or driving habits.I am achieving between 54-56 miles EV mode, I am averaging 3.6 miles/kWh
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
My Soul EV delivers anything from 3 to 5 kwh in the summer depending how you drive it. WLTP range is 293 miles, with city driving i can exceed that easily due to the regen but in winter the efficiency drops to between 2 and 4 kwh and the range drops to around 230 miles, this maybe helped by the fact mine has a heat pump as standard. Motorway miles cruising at 70mph i get around 230 in summer and that drops to around 180 in the winter months. I have a home charger so have never used a public one apart from the free ones as i am a Yorkshireman after all lol. Overall i have never suffered from the so called range anxiety and i would never go back to a combustion engine ever.

The highest range our Hyundai Kona (July 2021) has had at 100% charge is 367. Over this summer we have regularly had above 345 miles range.
Our current miles per Kwh average over the last month stands at 5.97.
We too have seen our 100% range and our miles per Kwh increase. I wonder if this is due to drivers making choices (whether to have air con on, increasing regenerative braking, running in Eco mode) which leads to more efficient driving. Perhaps there needs to be a ‘running in’ period for EV drivers as there used to be for diesel vehicles!
Our current mileage is 15,641 so at todays electricity prices and based on the above M/Kwh the cost for those miles would be about £760. This works out at £0.05 per mile. Apparently: “On a per mile basis, the fuel costs in the range of 14p – 19p pence per mile for a petrol car; the fuel costs around 15p – 19p pence per mile for a diesel car.” Using the lowest of the above figures his would give a saving in fuel costs of between £1400-£1500!
