EV cars - real world range
Discussion
i've only had mine a couple of days so i am still driving like a lunatic - the surge of acceleration is quite shocking sometimes, around town the throttle response and instant power makes anything but the most hairy chested of cars seem flaccid - i'm still getting the equivalent of 70 miles/charge and i can't think of many ways of making it worse

According to my Chargemaster login I've used 400kwh of leccy since 1st March on charging.
In that time I've done over 1,600 miles.
So roughly £60 in electric for 1600 miles. Not bad at all.In that time I've done over 1,600 miles.
Most EVs get topped up at night using off-peak leccy costing around £0.06 / KwH, which means the cost is probably nearer 1.5p / mile.
To put that into perspective:- £6.50 buys a gallon of petrol giving around 20-40 miles in an ICE car .. or it can buy 430 miles worth of electricity.
Then there's the concept of charging for free for 25 yrs with solar from an off-grid property, as opposed to on-grid solar with FITS payments which effectively pays you 5p/mile to drive, but rubs up the anti-everything brigade !!
