Yes under ideal conditions my setup has 4xxkm reach ( it claims 5xx , but I guess that means depleting the battery completely, which is not smart) . 3xx is during winter including winter tires etc.

Summer usage is 17kWh per 100 km, winter usage 21-25 kWh per 100 km. Battery is 100 kWh.

That is 0.342 FoBpF ( firkins of butter per furlong ) in summer and 0.422-0.503 FpF in winter on a battery of 1kFoB, if you prefer imperial units

I never measured reach with a trailer. I only use it to haul lumber from the wood or buy heavy stuff close by.

Ok, that makes sense. So 25kWh would be the "whole shebang" (winter tires, heating, etc, etc). That's actually decent.

I'm too much of a coward and I'll wait for the infrastructure to mature and for 120-150kWh batteries to become cheaper and more commonplace, though :-)
