Recharge real life range
 
Hi all,

I am considering changing to the Recharge but can’t decide whether to go for the Twin or Single motor.

I had a twin motor demonstrator out for the day on Saturday, and the range should be enough in most circumstances for me, but single motor demonstrators seem pretty thin on the ground!

I was very impressed with the car, however the single motor version could well be enough, depending on the actual range that is achievable on a full (or 90% charge).

So, if there are any of you out there with single motor versions who can give me some feedback, I would very much appreciate it.

if you particularly want supercar performance go for the twin motor otherwise you will find the single motor entirely adequate and more economical .

Thanks Clan, I am not looking for the super car acceleration, just a decent range - there have been reports on this forum of a range of only 170 miles on the single motor version on a 90% charge.

I was hoping that now the warmer weather is here, that range could be increased nearer to 200 - 220 miles.

Rarely charge ours to 100%, but yesterday was saying 180 miles @ 100%. At this time of year it’s probably managing a little more.
