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.

These cars are NOT frugal - batteries aren't cutting edge.
I drive my Tesla M3 hard and it averagres - 243w/mile.

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.

Really sad to hear that…..
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 …

On a good run over about 150 miles on mixed roads of hills, A, B and motorways around 24.3 KWH / 100 miles. According to trip data.

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.

You must all be driving like grannies!
Mind Volvo tends to attract OAP's and those who have fedora's on the back shelf and GB stickers on the back.

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.
