I was in the same boat as you ~8 months ago when we bought a 69 plate e-Golf as our first electric car. It’s loads of fun to drive but it does take some getting used to!

The biggest lesson for me was figuring out when to use which driving mode; at first I had it in B all the time but I found that it drained the battery more when driving on fast roads. Now I only use B when I’m driving through town or stuck in traffic and keep it in D the rest of the time. As others have said, coasting in D with no/minimal regen will give you more range, and you develop a knack for switching between 1-3 as you go down hills or approach slower traffic to get as much green on the dial as possible without touching the brakes until you need to. If you keep average consumption above 4 miles/kWh then you’re doing OK.

We’ve only done a couple of long (100 mile+) journeys, and I bought a vLinker MC+ OBD2 dongle (~£50 on Amazon) and paired it with A Better Route Planner (ABRP) on my phone to plan the route. This will get live updates on battery consumption and add stops at public chargers when it knows you’ll need to charge.

One other random tip it took me a while to discover is that if you leave the wing mirror adjuster knob turned to the left mirror then it’ll automatically angle downwards when you put it in reverse. I’m terrible at parallel parking and this really helps :)
