Evening all – glad to know more of you are close to getting your cars
. Charged car today – it had dropped to just under 200 miles left – I unplugged it about 30 mins ago – interestingly in the last 10 mins before I unplugged it it dropped from 349 to 337 – I assume as the temperature dropped – will be interested to see what it reads tomorrow morning – it is meant to drop to around 4 – 5c tonight. My first real observation of how temperature affects the battery. So wouldn’t be surprised if it dipped under 300 by 7am tomorrow morning.

The most recent 25 miles covered has been achieved at 3.7 miles per kWh and with the return trip around 250/260 miles its highly likely a top will be needed. Heating and demisting uses a fair bit of battery. I will post next week with the results and am hoping preconditioning and pre heating the cabin will help a little, and with speed restrictions on the M3 and M25, who knows.
