Expect around 260 miles at motorway speed (max 70, weather dependant). Pretty decent for a fairly large vehicle vs battery size

so will see if the 300 mile range is realistic or not.
You won't get 300 miles on the MWay. You will around town.
For distance driving, you should be thinking about 240 to 260 miles, depending on right foot and whether you have strapped bikes etc to the car.
Also, plan to start the journey with 100% but for en-route charging work on the basis of charge at 20%, up to 80%. The charging speed below 20 and above 80 are a lot slower.
So, first charge after about 200 miles, then the next one after a further 150 miles. Repeat until you reach destination.

Just taken delivery of a Kona ultimate 64kw on a rolling 1-month lease. Have trips to Wales and Cornwall planned, so will see if the 300 mile range is realistic or not.
Maybe a spectate “electric car” thread is in order…
