Anyone know what the real world average max range is?

Going flat white on standard wheels with the Lodge interior as this looks the most futuristic spec to my eye.

Would be tempted to wait for the refreshed battery if anyone knows anything solid about release dates on that?

i think BEV is easy if you have 3 cars but a bit iof a risk if you have two. Wife occassionally does a trip away and would need my car and I would need to probably limit my work travel in that time or take CSL out of the garage (persiht he thought) to cope with BEV only.

REX only costs a bit more tbh and is a good insurance option.
