It’s bound to get colder and the range will get shorter, probably sub 20’s which will be as welcome as a fart in a lift for me.

Advertised to do between 35 - 40 miles....... yeah, if you get out and push.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the car but I’ve now got eyes like Marty Feldman, one eye on the road, the other an the battery gauge.
Wonder what range you guys will get when we go below freezing, or really heavy weather days?

As to expected and official range figures, WLTP is still using a low average speed of 46.5km/h (29mph), with acceleration rates we likely laugh at. I understand the fastest acceleration is 0 - 30mph in 15 seconds.

Let's no even think deeply about the influence of temperature and the demands of energy hungry consumers in cold winter weather.
