Haha your in for a surprise when the temp dips again. 😉 or wet roads, your range drops like your driving through a swamp.
Obviously being further north it was longer in warming up, until a couple of weeks ago I was getting barely over 3mpkwh. I know how low range can be in cold conditions if you use heat and use of the go pedal.
I’ve got my range up to 87miles + just enough to get to work tomorrow. Probably 92miles all in. All In Eco mode but using most of that 60mph most of the time, also had some air-conditioning bursts earlier in Week, so about as good as I can expect as it’s hilly here. Also that’s using just miles covered, I’ll have no range left in the Guess-o-battery so I consider my figures to be truly representative of what I can do. No 70miles covered and 30miles remaining so that means 100miles range for me. If I’m not in turtle mode when I get to work I’m not trying hard enough. 😀
There you go my commute is A road based with pent of gradient change (well it is Scotland). I drove close to 60 where I can, no concessions to Ev other than ECO mode being used. This next week I will do the same journeys but not in ECO mode.
Mileage covered was 92.5 miles.
@aj well im picking the car up tomorrow, weather expectations are not too windy but most likely wet roads / raining.
I hope your in the Halifax area to push me, as you did say if I broke down you would push hahaha…
Now just 1 quick question, I have my ecotricity card is there anything I need to make sure the dealer does that they usually miss before I take the car home?
eek 24hrs and counting down now…
Get them to activate all the ZE services stuff. They’ve probably “forgot”.
Haha Rain…. make sure you do 70mph on the motorway, especially if its lashing down. Probably get your range under 50miles. @aj is going to get very wet. 😉
The weatherman was wrong ….. Its sunny / cloudy now according to him, cant make their mind up, well roll on 12:30-1:00 today 😀 cheers for the advice on ze services ill have them sort that 🙂 roll on collecting the car now….6hrs *360mins* and counting…
Ah bum, if weather stays like this and you stay in Eco mode you’ll probably make it home now lol
@aj dodged a bullet! 😉
Eco mode….@aj said floor it ill be fine haha, no bullets being dodged here :p p.s. Ill make a post later showing if i made it home or not hee hee
Take pics of your range before journey and your remaining (if any range after), also include your charge stop.
And Pic of AJ struggling to push near 2 Ton of car 🙂
