    Bought 2022 one of these last week, 50Kwh battery, advertised as 275km range, me hole… struggles to get 160km on N and R roads.

    It's ok for me as our avg van usage is 120km per day, so bit of wriggle room, but if you were on motorways….

    I presume you looked at EV database before you bought it. You do seem to be getting a little bit lower than they say. They’re usually pretty spot on.

    Yeah, didn't believe there was anyway that it'd be 275, would have been happy up around the 200.

    160 is manageable for us, just put this tread here in case anyone is interested in these vans, I'd strongly recommend a couple of days trial to make sure it'll fit in with your work needs.

    Surprised its quite that low, I have a 2022 e-Dispatch but its 75KW.

    Ive covered nearly 10k in it and average consumption per 100km is roughly 24KWH

    so thats mixed driving with over 50% on Motorway (and driving at 120/130) and I generally get 260 - 285 km on a charge.

    Wouldnt carry much weight, just a ladder and Tools.

    Just filled to 100% from 0% (being told 4km range left), only charged 43.25kwh? I thought they had 46Kwh+ useable..

    wouldn’t say Zero is zero though and it’s 45 useable I think. Guessing 75kw is 70 useable.
