    Morning @Glos-Guy

    When supposedly in “sport” mode did you get the feeling the car was more responsive. Taking into account, I am using a different display setting than you but, when in sport mode, apart from the word “sport” appearing in red, the “eco” guage changes to a “rev” guage?

    What type of roads and speed were you doing when the battery charged to 20% and when in “hev” are you seeing “ev” come on, whilst “hev” displayed? I’m not talking about when the car goes from “hev” back into “ev” mode for a couple of miles or so. I haven’t being out since we last spoke (not felt good) and my battery still remains enmpty. However, if I were to go out with an empty battery, the car would drive like a full hybrid and do a few hundred yards in electric, even though the car is still in “hev” mode. This happens even if the battery level is at 12%. Hopefully you get my drift, even though I haven’t explained it that well.

    Having it in sport mode will drop the range further, as there is no hybrid driving, just charge and go but, speed road conditions will have a impack albit much smaller.

    I’ll switch mine in spot mode today and note the range, when posting daughter b/day card.
