I'm test driving the pure electric i3 in a couple of weeks on the motorway. I'm hoping for 60+ mile range in Eco mode at around 65 mph.

Has anyone got any feedback on the realistic range of the i3 at motorway speeds?

72 in the REx in March temps at around 65 in EcoPro. BEV will go a little further as REx kicks in at 18% SoC.

I have managed that in REX so BEV should go bit further

Ta!
It looks like the i3 is a little bit better than the E-Golf on the motorway, so far. That has surprised me given the Golf's larger battery.

Only get the Golf if you need more seats and bigger boot.

My BEV range at 100% SOC this morning...

How accurate do you tend to find the i3 range readings in general?

Always pretty much bang on. If anything, I think it does tend to be too conservative if that makes sense. (Maybe I haven't explained this correctly) That's possibly the way the algorithm is set?
