    I’d really like to get this car but most people have told me it’s too risky for me, anyone else has any input?
    I can’t load at home or work, but I could load at a station accessible by foot a few minutes from my house, as well as once a week when I go shopping for about 30-45 minutes.
    I only have to drive twice a week, 90km per day two days in a row, with no opportunity to load in between, but I could load the day before and the day after. People have told me it’s too risky especially in winter I might not make it on that distance.

      I have this car since 2024. The previous generation. I can answer some more questions if you wish.

      I charge at home. Sometimes at DC when I do some longer trips. Longest was 300km at once. Had to do 2 stops 30 minutes each.

      Normally in the summer I get 2km per 1% of battery. That is 11kw/h while driving 110km/h on the Autobahn. During winter it goes down to 1,5km per 1%.

      That means I can safely drive 160km in one hop and the charge with some bigger buffer during summer. 100km during winter.

      That is for a long trips. I use this car mainly to move around my city. If I wouldn’t charge it at home I’d charge it during weekend groceries. 40 minutes charging on any DC charger would bump it up to 90% easily. So groceries time.

      Apart of this this car is a banger. A classic car with no bullshit digital stuff, but electric.
