That was the faster of the launch ones! The Spring 45 had 44bhp!

Stonking deal here if anyone's after a cheapo runabout
lol, 140 miles WLTP...so, realistically that's 80 miles winter range and 100 miles summer range at 100-0%
so...80-20% = 50-60 miles real-world range. literally a city car

it wont be that low. 3 miles/kWh would be something terrible.
Probably less hassle too.I mean, @mattyg could have bought 17 of them for what he paid for the Audi…
I have 3 cars so far in 30 odd years of driving that have a place in my heart
A Honda CRX
A Skoda Fabia VRs
Obviously the M5 Comp
Hoping the Audi sits in there too. Might reserve judgment until we've done the Euro road trip in the summer
Not that unrealistic in winter though
agree with haggisman
i wouldn't be surprised if they're using the first generation motors or something inefficient/lower quality components
3m/kwh in winter is not beyond the realms of possibility if the car does not have a heatpump

The heater will barely be a drop. It will be just like a VW e-up
It will probably get 3m/kwh in winter because you’ll be starting from cold and only going 5 mins down the road so the average over those few miles will be poor.
However, it’s irrelevant because that’s literally the target market. No one’s buying that thing to commute 45 mins in each direction each day even if you could just manage it with its available range.
There is a bloke round my way that uses an Ami to drive (literally) 1 mile to the train station and back on the daily. I bet you could walk it in less time because there are cut throughs on foot.
