Real life range

[evets]

This is my first EV, so I can’t compare my IM6 to the regen in any other EV. I can however, compare my IM6 regen to the plethora of ICE cars I have driven. I feel the regen braking is closely comparable to the compression braking on the common two liter four cylinder ICE engine, the engine that powered most of my previous cars. The speed lost while coasting is therefore familiar to me and I’m satisfied with that. Since I have never experienced one pedal driving, I don’t know what I’m missing, and I’m okay with that.
I haven’t been in enough traffic to test the stop-and-go feature. Are there any comments on that?

Apologies I should have been more clear; my comment was about the launch version.
I can't see why the LR would not be able to deliver 300 miles; driving sensibly.

I do hope so. Really want to see some real life data.

Hi MikeJS
I’ve had my long range for a little over a week now. So far I’ve been getting around 3.2 out of it, that equates to around 320 on a full charge. It’s cold at the moment so range will suffer a bit but come spring time I guesstimate it will give round 3.4 /5 - so around 340-350. That’s on mixed driving, if your going to be belting up and down motorways most of the time I would suggest your going to get around 2.8 so around 280 ( which will hopefully improve with the weather). I’ve been driving electric cars for a few years and to be honest when I’m on motorways range always suffers regardless of the car make. To be fare the im6 appears to be somewhat better than most I’ve driven ( unless I give it lots of beans - then the range drops).
Hope that helps !

Hi Don
Thank you very much for that response. I have been driving EVs for over 10 years so well used to the vagaries or range guesstimations! 300 in summer is good enough for what I want. I won’t cancel my order yet…...

Excuse me, are you implying the data in the initial post of this thread is fake? Enquiring minds want to know.
