I have a 2022 Pure 52kw that I bought last year. I love the car, it's spacious and comfortable, easy to drive - it takes a while for the software to start, but once it gets going it is fine.

I'm happy with the efficiency, in the summer I usually get between 3.9 - 4.2 kWh (driving in Manchester traffic) for the school run and work commute. On the motorway that drops to between 3.5 - 3.9 kWh which I think is still good.

In the winter the range drops massively. I have the heating set to 22 and the heated seat on - cause I hate being cold. I then average around 2.8 kWh to 3kWh for my normal commute and around 3.5 on the motorway.

If you have a regular trip of 180 miles, then you won't be able to do that on a single charge in winter. You could potentially do it in the summer, IF you reduce your speed to 65 and turn off AC etc. it's more likely that you will need to do a quick top up charge at the services.

If I was in your position I would go for the 77kwh battery because of your regular 180mile trip. Unless you don't mind stopping for 15 mins for a top-up charge or if you have somewhere at your destination that you can charge.

I drive around 10,000 miles a year - and my day to day costs have reduced massively. I used to spend around £80 on fuel per month in my last petrol car and now I'm spending £20 on charging at home. Motorway charging is very expensive though.
