My Leaf has a 40kwh battery and I can get 150 in summer and 120 in winter. The Skoda is heavier and slightly less aerodynamic, it has a similarly efficient electric motor to the Leaf I believe (Not matching Kia and Hyundai's which are noticeably better in real world reports) so i'd expect 210 in the summer and 175 in the winter from the 60? I'm not sure how much difference the heat pump makes, probably a noticeable amount in January and February?

I have had to use rapid chargers only 3 times in all the time i've had the Leaf and they worked each time but the infrastructure out there is poor and if my driving habits were a lot longer range more of the time I think i'd have encountered a lot more stress by now. I'm hoping the Enyaq's longer range means my use of rapids will continue to be minimum.

Received my iV 60 On June 20th, first full charge two days later saw GOM range 254 miles. The weather has been generously warm in the South East more often than not and the lowest I’ve seen the GOM range is 237 miles on a full 100% charge - your driving style will certainly affect it.

I'm just being a dick here, but Leaf has a CD of 0.32 while the Enyaq has a CD of 0.234. However, you are probably correct in that the effect of the Enyaq's greater frontal area, even with a better drag coefficient probably results in more resistance. :D

Well can't argue with those figures, but it certainly doesn't look more aerodynamic 🤣

Regardless of the stats, I drove 24 miles home with 8% battery and an “estimated range” of 19 miles today, so I’m happy 😃

Aerodynamics is a funny old game - The nice & curvy ID4 has a worse CD of 0.28
