THIS MONTH, I HAVE MAINLY BEEN DRIVING A CUPRA BORN 77KWH absolutely everywhere, revelling in an electric car that delivers a few more than 270 miles of range even in cool temperatures. Honestly, it’s a gamechanger. Big range just means more convenience – when you’re attached to a powerful public charger the fast charge sweet spot from 10–80 per cent is bigger; you add more miles in less time. I’ve tested EVs with better range, but never quite realised how much difference actually living with one would make.
