Hello All,
So I picked up a Melbourne Red (Suite) 120Ah i3 last week, which was a totally new experience - before collecting I'd never plugged an electric car in anywhere... It's terrific for lots of surprising reasons - mainly clever design stuff that I admire - so a welcome addition to the family.
As for range: I'm shocked - in a good way! I drove this car as I would normally on what I thought was a reasonably fast route today, and got 60 miles in exchange for 25% battery life. This car looks like it does close on 200 miles for the sort of motoring we do.
Very impressed so far!

Yes, you can get quite far in these if you manage your consumption.
But to get 200mi/300km, you pretty much need to be in Eco mode, AC off and avoid motorways, if you are able to drive at relatively constant speed of 60-70kph (37-43mph), you can reach or even exceed the WLTP number.

The interesting number to watch is the "MPG" number.
I typically get 12-13Kw/100km when "touring", I have seen close to 10Kw/100km on parts of the journey.
For "city driving" its a bit more due to the constant stopping and starting.
My mix tend to stay around 15-16Kw/100km.

In order to get to the WLTP figure, you need a consumption between 12-12,5KW/100km.

Come winter and you can expect up to 15% lower range due to ambient temperatures (battery gets cold) and the need for heating up the cabin.
I have a garage at home and at work, but winter time I struggle to get much more than 250-260Km out of it.

The range is indeed good as it a clever BEV

Easily getting 4.8mi/kWh

Now with the winter at our doorstep it will dropping a bit but still usable

Without highway driving or climate, I just hit 200 miles on a single charge in my 2019 i3s with 35000 miles on it.
