OP doesn’t say when they’re going and others have covered stuff well. The only things I’ve to add is are:
* Winter range is diabolically worse than summer – in summer EVs will generally more-or-less do the quoted range if driven gently but in winter you can be looking at half the quoted figure particularly if you make small journeys heating up the car/battery from cold each time.
* Driving style makes a HUGE difference to range. If you hammer it around and cruise at high speed then you’ll see a fraction of the quoted range.
