    Hi @kezo I have another longer journey tomorrow, so will be making my first refuel afterwards to get a start point for our holiday, so will let you know the results of the first few weeks then.

    Quick question for you in the meantime. I seem to be getting an EV only range well into the 30s, which I’m happy with, but I’ve noticed the last few times when I’ve plugged the car in with zero EV only range left (or 1 mile max, from regeneration) that the car says that the battery is at 20%. I thought that zero range would be 15% remaining. Have you noticed what yours considers to be zero?

    P.S. Tried Sport mode a couple of times yesterday to see what the acceleration is like and agree it’s more than adequate. Still not as rapid as the BMW IMHO and the engine note is nowhere near as nice, but at least it’s there if you need it. Talking of engine note, whilst I find it exceptionally quiet when cruising in HEV mode (once the battery is depleted), on other roads I find it gets a bit intrusive by holding on to revs a little higher than it needs to (Eco mode). It will be interesting to see how we find it during our holiday as we will be in HEV mode and running on petrol for most of the week.
