Hello Wheezywindbag
I have only had the car for a week so very much a learning newbie – I have seen enough vids on what – but very much still learning the how – my gut feeling from limited actual knowledge – if you can get the ultimate – the a/c on a hot day – make it cool quick canes the battery – when I do a long journey ie 200 miles plus I expect to condition the car whilst plugged in at home – either cool or warm using heated steering wheel and seats or other extreme ventilated seats and sunroof then eco mode smart recuperation and smart cruise on motorways and A roads – when I have proven my logic is sound I will post results – I am expecting to travel from Surrey to Cornwall in September to see my son – will post results and conclusions. – similarly when I do same journey in cold, windy wet weather.
If you haven’t a home charger then a different ball game which hopefully someone will be able to advise.
