Hello all
I hope this will reach you all as my last few posts have not, then I noticed my name and email had gone.
Very interesting read over the last few pages and very happy for those who are getting their new Kona.
We have had ours 6 months on 29th October and have just reached 5000 miles. Did a cost and the total cost of electricity is £137.80 with £24.40 on public charging.
So 5000 miles in an ICE on a average 35mpg would have cost £1123.67 at todays costs. ???? so very happy with the saving.
Now that the weather is cooler our kWh has dropped from 5.8kwh to 5.2kwh and my range on a full charge has also dropped from 387 in the summer and we are now getting 334 on a full charge. Expecting that to drop to around 280 in the real cold weather.
I need an answer please.
Has anyone noticed a difference when the Battery is around 20-30% compared to 100% charged.
My wife and I have felt a difference in how the car handles, so I’ve done some research.
When the car is fully charged it’s heavier that it is when around 25-30%. I guess it’s obvious when you think about it, but didn’t realise it would be. Therefore, I guess in the winter, maybe it might be best to keep the car ‘heavy’ so to speak, to help in the snow and icy conditions. Just a thought. ????
Keep enjoying your cars and it been good to read your post. So thank you. ??
