Still battling through summer here, regular temperatures of 30 degrees plus.

100% range is regularly around 360km - aircon always set to 21.5, both zones. We enjoy driving the car normally, up hills etc.

Definitely better "consumption" in the summer, even with aircon, than in the winter with 8 degree temps.

In what we call summer here in Aberdeen I've been getting up to 4.7 around town and country roads. I've Just completed 510 mile journey from Aberdeen to Bristol. Starting at 100% charge from home, the first recharge point on my 'most optimistic' plan was reached with 175 miles completed and 28% left. Admittedly, I didn't do more than 65mph very often, but I was surprised and delighted by the range. Even better, the charge was free courtesy of ChargeplaceScotland. The journey through England was less pleasant of course with congestion, car accidents and roadworks, but easily managed 4.1m/kWhr. Three recharges overall but could easily have done it in two.

Im enjoying regular 4.3-4.6 mikes/kw.
LTA 4.3 m/kw
Temperatures are just right for me and the car.
No heating, cooling or early morning battery heating. Probably only another few weeks of this at best before we see higher battery consumption.
I have been through a winter before with the car so know what to expect.
