Still canโ€™t work out how it can have a 40-50 kWh battery if reports are to be believed and only offer 155 miles of range.
Has to be low 30s surely.

Surely with an expected range of 155 miles the battery in this will be in the region of 35 kWh.
If itโ€™s bigger than that then whoever is in charge of efficiency needs replacing.

Weird that every month the SMMT have a little dig that their members have to discount too much to arrive at the monthly numbers.
Then we are reminded by a certain segment of car social media that these numbers are registrations not sales.
If they havenโ€™t sold them then they havenโ€™t had to discount.

Pedro was in absolute agony and sadly 5 of his friends were poisoned.
