The MPG of my Canyon would change by 1 MPG for every 10 deg F temperature change, so I expect better mileage when the weather gets warmer and I learn to drive it better.
Two annoyances:
1) When taking foot off the gas, it automatically goes straight to regenerative braking. If I want to coast, I need to stay on the gas pedal. It does have a power meter that shows the point of zero braking, and an EV Coach display that helps to control amount of electric motoring/braking.
2) The key is almost the size of a banana. This seems to be a modern trend in new cars. I do not like this trend.
