Highest Displayed Range

My short shopping trip is with less than 4mls/kWh. All 5mls/kWh or above are achieved on 10 miles commuting with slow moving traffic. I think the key is regen control on slowing down.

I am more amazed at the 2200 miles in 6 months.....you need to drive your car

Keeping them brake discs free from rust and pitting is going to be hard work ? due to the lack of work ?.

2023 Reg ZS EV LR 10000km 500 day check: Range 635km 394 miles in ECO mode.

Hyper inflated and unachievable, but nice to look at anyway ?

Looks great, though I highly doubt you will get that much range in real. I have seen as high has 320miles but in real got closer to 270 - 280 city miles and 230 motorway miles

The range is almost achievable. I repeated to get 5.5 miles/kWh between London and Southend-on-Sea several times. I drove 77.6miles round trip with 20% battery charge used the day before yesterday. I was following cars on slow lane at 50 miles/h speed on 70 miles/h dual carriageway.

London to Southend trip is a real life road. Car is capible of higher efficiency depends how to drive. Main tricks for higher efficiency are the following: Gentle acceleration, steady speed manual cruise with larger gap behind the car in front, and regen slowing down.

Your efficiency results are to be commend.
This is a “best case scenario” when you are conducting the same trip regularly and
the weather conditions are very favourable, road speed is fairly constant and no HVAC items are in use etc.
However a new EV driver could fall foul of trusting a predicted range based on that GOM based results, on a new much longer new journey, in poor weather with HVAC in use and wonder why the efficiency and predicted range is tumbling very quickly.

Complete agree.
