Please expand and give your version of "drives it like it should be driven".
In my view, anyone driving a vehicle on a public road should do it in a safe and sensible manner, and such that all speed limits are kept to at all times.
The consumption figures I get and post in previous posts are because I anticipate the road ahead and drive in economy mode and D Auto the majority of the time and drive on the speed limit with due regard to other drivers and pedestrians.
In the UK, that means 70 mph on motorways and dual carriageways the stated national limit at all other times. I do not drive slowly, and I keep up with the traffic and never drive close to other vehicles and use regeneration to slow down the car instead of brakes.

Well I just want to say I always drive as mandated by the party and would never do anything to trigger legal sanctions. We all have a responsibility to be good citizens. Lets drive in a safe and secure manner, for the motherland, er, fatherland, uh no wait, homeland. Yeah that's it, the homeland.

I’m a Smith System trained driver and have been driving for almost 60 years. My last speeding ticket was in the early 90s on an 8 lane freeway in California. That being said, I may be a few miles over the limit in keeping with the flow of traffic
my observation is that some drivers, on being presented with new technology in their vehicles can drive by their gauges instead of by road conditions. This was painfully obvious with the advent of the Prius where the driving technique of some was to attempt the highest possible mpg according to their dash instruments instead of paying heed to what was going on with traffic.
I suggest that “driving like you stole it” is mearly a euphemism 🙂

Ha! It was. The big takeaway should be that we make zero effort to drive “eco” and this is the efficiency the EQB provides in the real world.

As an aside, my one and only speeding ticket was in 1991 so I’m pretty sure it’s aged off my record. 😀

2023 EQB300
Have had my EQB300 now for 3 weeks and am pleased with range. I am driving in Eco with D-Auto Regen and only use AC when absoulte necessary. Got 290 miles on the first charge and on this second charge I am currently in the projected 290-300 mile range. This is around town with little highway driving and of course in a warm summer. Will drop for sure this winter, but pleased so far. Well pleased with car, not with EA. Garden State Plaza (Paramus NJ) EA - 2 out of 6 stations down and it has been that way several weeks. All the other 150 kwh chargers will pulling 40kw.
