Worth watching if you're thinking about switching. Of course, I guess the miles and type of roads you are on make a difference, but cruising on Motorways should be the easiest on the power source drain as it's steady

You would think so but it’s actually the opposite, there’s very little regenerative braking done on a motorway, driving round town overall pushes charge back into the battery.

knock about 20% off that if it’s the claimed range

And iirc the leaf only has a 3.6kw onboard charger
