Autocar have returned real world figures with the long range. Our car returned 2.9mpkWh in our touring efficiency test

Not sure if this is an updated review but has today's date https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mg-motor/im-6

Got to hope the government don't come up with any daft tax schemes in relation to vehicle weight. You are right about Tesla's their efficiency on their refreshed cars is impressive.The standard range M3 gets more range than the standard range IM5 and has a fair bit smaller battery

The thing to bear in mind for anyone thinking of going on IOG is the extra hours aren't always guaranteed, as you say if the grid is green you have more of a chance. If you aren't adding a massive amount of charge it will still default to mainly core charging hours

A member got 3.1miles/kWh on a recent longer trip, that was with no heating/Aircon in similar temps to you. Another owner on another site posted about 290/295 mile range on a mostly motorway journey

it's people putting larger % amounts than the car needs or can take, on the charger app, so that they get periods out with the core hours and use heavy use appliances on them then they car stops charging far sooner than IOG expects during the core hours

They both run Google automotive which is the comparison I'm making

Albeit now an older model but been through various revisions, I took a polestar 2 for a test drive,recently, and there were no issues.

Pole stars always seem to come initially with iffy software and end up sorting it reasonably quickly with OTA updates

Or manufacturers sharing their APIs

Could say that about a lot of threads in here! To be fair I actually think the odd wander off topic is what makes this one of the better forums

I agree but initially it was the case and then they introduced compatible chargers. They problem is there are people playing the system, members have admitted it on here and this is a small section of EV owners. Monitoring and enforcing probably takes time and costs money. Energy companies...

Such a small thing to take away, can't be a cost issue

Which backs up the you tube link where they are starting to go after people that are abusing it as it goes against their fair use policy. They wouldn't need to if it was only the car. If the fiddling the system continues as I said I can see it just going back to manufacturers who share their API

Totally agree, this was just clarifying a misunderstanding with @T1 Terry. The other point is however valid the behaviour to new members needs checked. Back on topic👍

So basically anyone trying to fiddle the system isn't

I should probably do the same, I'm sure he has blocked me! However it just winds me up 😁 I have never come across anyone so set in defending a brand to the length they do, all at the expense of genuine new members looking for help being accused of being trolls or worse. It just seems to go...

I like the look of the IM5 but this is the issue I have with that, the Peugeot you have is 4791mm the IM is 4904mm so another 10 and a bit cm's bigger. It's not the manoeuvring and driving it's just the size.

It's an issue a lot of cars suffer from on cold damp mornings, it sorts itself quite quickly

I never at any time took offence to anything you said, it was entirely directed at another member, the same as @JonnyG had a pop at above. There would appear to have been a misunderstanding.
