Always interesting when someone assemblies a mass of data and then brings conclusions out of it.

 

I have liked the idea of a Mustang-e and it is a car that oft seems to be forgotten.  Also not so sure about the range figures he has popped in, the ID3 a bit on the high side and the Zoe, for example, at 187 miles average, a bit on the low side for the average between summer and winter.  Odd thing as a Renault salemans or perhaps ex-Renault salesman.

 

When is there going to be a Skoda ID3 model launched ?

 

No MGs in his spreadsheet which would have dominated several of the top positions in such a table that encompassed all current EVs.

 

Have VW stopped selling the smaller battery ID3 as they now only list the 58 kWh and bigger and the cheapest ID3 is more expensive that the ID4 ?  I am still hearing issues with both heavy energy consumption with the temperature less than 13C and heavy battery degradation in the ID 3 and 4  in the first year of ownership.   https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/configurator.html

 

Lands End to John O'Groats in 15 and a half hours is pretty impressive for an EV...Qickest time I can find and only 90 minutes charging, think they may having broken lockdown, not too sure what was the law then.

Impressively little charge time but took an age..

There were some amazing high  mile to the kWh mentioned.  Sounded like only possible with hypermiling.      The 6.5 miles per kWh is something I though could only be achieved with a vehicle in front assisting you to draft. 

 

@lol-lol

This last week i have done 27 miles and used near 35 kWh of electricity. 

Under 5 miles average per day in 4-6 short journeys.

That would be counted as 1 mile part kWh.

 

Yet if i had set off i could have driven over 100 miles and then topped back up and that would be 3 miles per kWh.   35kWh or so.

Still the other 24 hour periods of doing under 5 miles would have needed around the 4.5 - 5 kWh.   How Cold night / day dependent.
