Cue Gaffers?

and the quoted range of 280 miles from a single charge ..... is these from the same kind of people that try to tell us that model X does 130 mpg when in fact it's lucky to achieve 30 mpg in real world driving?

Now that is the type of electric car that would be suitable for me. If the government would give me the price of it in a grant, I would accept my Omega has to go!!

Read what I put. They tell us that this electric car will do 280 miles on a charge. Car manuafacturers in general will tell us lies ie they will tell us a petrol/diseasal car will do x amount of miles to a gallon when in fact in the real world they'll do nothing like that. I'd suggest that the 280 miles on a charge for this milk float will have been 'achieved' in a lab with no wind or drag effect, no lights. no heater fan, no electric seat etc etc, so in the real world they'll do nothing like that.

So I expect that is achievable on the i-Pace in summer months if driven carefully, I was getting probably 220-240 at circa 0 deg C and that was with hitting the throttle hard a few times.
