Hi I meant to say the low mileage reading was on the app and vehicle was parked overnight but I’ve been in the vehicle for a short trip and the dash and app now read 87% and 199 miles 🤔. Technology 😫
That’s normal.
All these indicators (not just EVs, same goes for petrol vehicles) are based on an average of your last “insert X amount of miles (dependant on the manufacturer/software)” driven miles.
As an example, in our GTE, if i drive like a bit of a loon electric only, then put it on charge, the fully charged car will read like 29 miles range (both dash and app). If i then go for a drive, it gradually adjusts that estimate, usually happens by driving two miles, but the range only dropping by one. If i drive sensibly and fully charge, range goes up to around 39 miles in dash and app.
Kinda has to be that way, since consumptions and efficiencies change over a drive (especially in an EV, where you use exponentially more charge at higher speeds).
