Only a month in with owning mine, with roughly a 1,000 miles driven & completely disappointed with the EV owner experience. From actual miles achieved per charge, availability & reliability of charging points & the ridiculous cost of some of these!
Only myself to blame for listening to sales chat, with inflating mileage expectations & what I was told on charging costs away from home. Lesson learned - do your own research. Car on verge of going back.
How economical is your driving?

Challenge duly accepted!!!
3200 miles in and I am running on 30.9kwh per 100 miles for the whole of that period now…
I do spend most of my time in 2nd mode, but do allow it to …. “Stretch its legs” where conditions are appropriate!
I don’t find that heated seats or steering wheel affect it in any way. Heating is always set between 21-23 on low.

I haven’t charged mine away from home yet…the advice I was given from other Edrivers is only put in enough power to get you home, don’t automatically fill up like you would a petrol car.
I have had a busy month, so have done 2000 miles at a total cost of £47.89 according to my Ohme app.
As I learn to drive it, the range is starting to extend further …

I'm averaging 29 per 100 miles .
And I do "make progress in a safe and efficient manner" officer!!!
OPD but bring the front motor in with a 'kickdown' (and quicker than my TVR....)
I do wish that Google maps would show different options for charging when showing a route. It doesn't seem to show Tesla chargers which, generally, are cheaper than others!

That is solid numbers from a twin. I don’t use the opd but will give it a go to see if it makes much difference.

I envy you—I haven’t been able to get such a low average consumption. I usually get around 20-21 in the city and 23-24 on the highway. Twin Performance without the 'Performance mode' activated.
