How’s  the range in these cold temps, how’s it all going?

[tlwcs]

My first month with a Toyota pro ace city ev
180 range, halve that for winter and weight so 90 miles maybe.
I average 40 miles a day.
Used to allow £50 a week for fuel and it averaged out at £36.
This is my cost for November.
So impressed.
If you can make it work, do it.

Not bad, but the range is pretty pants on the van front.

We have a Kia EV3 which has been flawless and well impressive. But being a car, and with an 82kwh battery, it’s plenty good enough on range in the winter. We only charge it once a week - £11.58 so far this month.

My concern with the vans is having to charge it almost every night in the winter which will shorten the battery life. I might be overthinking it though! Are you running it with the heating on etc?

Think I’ll aim for the e transit custom in spring next year.

What size tank have you got in your proace city and how is it secured?

Not bad! It’s a 80% saving on fuel. Although I’m sure our Rachel will make changes next week.
Mine was 18 months old with the 8 year battery warranty (10 years on the van with breakdown cover if serviced by Toyota) 35k plus vat new and I paid just under 15k. I got 11k for a 7 year old caddy.
I charge 4/5 times a week to 80% and I run in drive so everything works. The heater doesn’t work in eco mode.
It is a massive change as our vans are our income so I understand the overthinking.

350 and it’s strapped.

Depreciation values and second hand ownership running costs would put me off. Thankfully I'm semi retired and won't need to worry about EV's going forward in my lifetime.
