Hi from Sevenoaks.
My wife and I received our White Born V2 77kW mid-March after ordering it in June '22. So far, and over 1k miles, we're really pleased. It's been on holiday with us bird watching to Suffolk (350 miles in a week) and so far only used our own solar to charge it (plus some from the 7kW charger at Minsmere RSPB reserve while we were away).
We're getting 4.6 m/kW long-term or about 350 miles total range, so well happy that we're getting the full range in the spec (I get 5.1 on trips to the supermarket).
To satisfy my petrol addiction I also have a 23 year old Saab 93 Aero Convertible in the garage which I've had from new which comes out on the occasional sunny day for polishing and pootling. Might even consider converting this to battery in a few years time.
Niggles with the Born: Don't like the touch screen, touch lights console or driver door controls. The app is pretty awful too. Not convinced by not having any puncture support other than call for assistance.
Home Setup: 4kW solar with micro-inverters. MyEnergi Eddi/Zappi/Harvi.
Look forward to chatting in the forums.
Hello
We received our 77kw V3 with DCC and heat pump.
Noticed
- DCC even in most Comfort setting is more firm than non DCC
- A/C seems much more effective especially the power of the fan
- Beats much better than the standard sound system, bass much better
Also I think the 2023 model has better materials on the Cupra steering wheel
Generally, very pleased with our V3
