EV9 owners - what s your motorway range?

[kmpowell]

Currently looking at the EV9 (313 S model) as a replacement family bus. All good so far re kit, quality etc, but I can’t seem to find consensus on what I can expect on a motorway run.

I do a 200mile motorway (M25 and M40) round-trip twice a week with a 10min turn around at half way, and at that time I don’t want to be faffing with topping up etc. Ideal scenario is to leave home on a full charge (charged over night at home), and then plug it back in when I get home.

I’m trying to find thoughts on a worst case range scenario? I.e depth of winter, cruising at 80 leptons. Some reviews say 200-230, some say 250-280, some say minimum 280.


TIA.

EV database suggests around 240 miles at 70mph.

I think it'll start to drop significantly when you're above 70mph given it's shaped like a massive brick.

Could you borrow one as a demo and do the exact trip?

I've only had mine a month or so and made just one long round trip in it which was 125 miles each way with around 20 miles of town driving. I cruise at 77 on motorways. The car needed a 5 min charge to get me home with 10% which i use as a safety margin when travelling with passengers. It said the average consumption was 2.9m/kwh for the motorway sections so that's around 255/260 i think. The overall for the trip inc the town driving was 3.1.
