“The guessometer is hopeless... but recharging is quick”

CUPRA TAVASCAN £60,835 OTR/£61,815 as tested/£813 pcm WHY IT'S HERE: Does a surfeit of sportiness compromise an otherwise perfectly good EV?

IF YOU THINK EVS ARE inefficient in cold weather, I have news. This one's inefficient in warmer weather too.

When it first arrived, temps were nearly always below 5°C. An average 2.8mpkWh was poor. It was worse on motorways, at about 2.5mpkWh, which is 190 miles from the 77kWh battery. That's less range than when I had a 60kWh Renault Megane in similar weather.
