    In response to an earlier post, the above picture shows mrs kezo taking a pic as we were heading to collect daughter from school. I planned of taking it to 70+ but there was a wagon turning into the quarry up ahead. Anyway shows us travelling up a slight gradiant, showing it will easily acheive 60mph in electric whils’t still being just over halfway in the eco area. How you get there is irrelevant as long as you don’t go to halfway in the powerband it will stay in electric, aslong as you have sufficient battery to do so. However building up speed at a steady pace/keeping up with traffic is better for range than pushing your foot hard n the go pedal. I’ll see what traffic is like tomorrow and perhaps I’ll take to over 70, showing it still in electric. How far it will go at higher speeds especially 70/8 I honestly don’t know.

    to the bottom right of “EV” you can where I have put it in level 1 regen, so you can see however default is off or 3 regen levels or hold the – paddle and it goes into near one one pedal driving or puts it in stop mode, if autohold is left switched off. I hower find the regen unnatural.

    The Tucson gives you either mpg or mpg/kwh, Currently I’m using just mpg and reseting the display everytime I recharge to get an easy understanding of electric range. Unfortunately I knocked the display off when the photo was being taken but, happy to put them all up.

    Rene I have no idea mate, Im learning as I go along and not even got the manual out yet. Yes there is an app you can download but, up to yet I haven’t bothered, as I tend to just get in a car and drive it these days 🙂
