301 miles???

Charged to 100% last night ready for the easter mad rush this morning. It now shows a range of 301 miles.. ... we'll see

Almost certainly optimistic. For example my X Power showed 260 miles a couple of times in Summer, on a 100 % charge, obviously no chance of that. But does look good. And makes you feel good.

Sounds about right with current temps.

About 4.9 miles/kWh so believable.

I bet you charge it up again before you drive 300 miles, so we'll never know.

Love these posts about range. Just driven past a petrol station and smiled to myself at the prices wooaah

Range dropped from 301 to 284 miles after I'd driven just a mile or so...... as expected.
Today's trip was 67 miles and ended up with the remaining range indicating 204 miles, which I guess is about as expected, so not disappointed.
The lack of regeneration (OPD) was very noticeable when setting off.

Me too - we'll be driving for zero cost from now until about October thanks to the sun. (As in the big nuclear reactor, not the rag, that is).

I hate charging to 100% for just that reason. I then find myself lifting off the accelerator about half a mile before the next junction to avoid wasting all my free energy
