Exeter is about 80 miles away, and it's not certain that the car will even get there on the current charge, causing range anxiety.
Upon arriving in Exeter, having driven 80 miles, the driver only had 18 miles of range remaining, despite having started with 144.
The effective real range is actually closer to 88 miles on a dual carriageway.
After charging for 45 minutes in Exeter, range increased to 175 miles.
The next stop was Lee Delamere services.
From Exeter, he drove 97 miles. When he arrived at Lee Delamere Services, his range was 23. After, charging his vehicle at 79% he has a range of 146.
If you live in Norfolk, can't go anywhere quickly or in comfort, have lots of money because the car is £16k more than the diesel model, and plenty of time, this is the van for you.
