Winters here Range Drop

[rodbin]

Now down to 198 range on GOM drive to work most at below 60 no climate outside temp 8 degrees GOM agrees with actual mileage.
On 80 mile journey with good lady and climate on gain 10 miles on GOM forecast estimate it is conservative by 12.5% so calculate effective range to be 222.75 which is quite a drop form fantasy range of 330. But using Ford America figures of 270, which I think is closest to Real World range, that is a drop of 17.5% which seems in line with other reports on Forum
How are other UK drivers fairing ?

ouch. well this is exactly why a sub 250 normal rated range vehicle is hopefully something that we will see less and less of in the marketplace. Seems to me the new minimum should be 300, which would put you closer lo low 200's in dead of winter. Well either that of super duper ultra fast chargers (and fast charge capable cars) everywhere like gas stations.
