And that’s that 100% to 1%. And some strangeness.
Left home with 100% = 305 miles. Home to motorway 1mile, motorway to Dublin 101 miles, drive round Dublin 8 miles. Arrived with 48% = 120 miles left. So used 52% and 185 miles. Dry, temp at start 2 deg back at 7 deg. Heat at 21 fan speed 1. Radio on, all on and same way down and back.
So I wasn’t going to get home with this figures. Put home address in satnav and said * i would get home with 2% and would need a charge * . The car must have calculated what I used down and thought I would need a charge. I refused it and sat off.
Arrived home with 8% = 27. Same way home same settings. So 185 miles down and 93 miles back. So that’s strange. When home I head back to the motorway to empty battery. Range disappeared at 8% battery. I turn things off and go to eco mode speed down to55- 60mph and got 13 miles at that speed. Back towards home now at 3% drive around the area for 2 miles AVG speed about 18mph that’s when 1% showed and I took the 1/4 mile home and charged.
Basythe same as the Kona and e3008 12ish miles at reasonable speed and 2-3 at low speeds. No turtle mode, which is strange as both other cars had it so that could lead to a false thinking of there’s more, if it didn’t come on at 1% its not there as the other two would kick in around 3%.
So now I know exactly what I can get, and at those speeds at those distances that good. I’m going to do the same run on Saturday at 65mph.
I done a fair bit of thinking on the way back as it was clear the range wasn’t dropping like going down. I’m now convinced that the Belfast to Dublin road is predominantly up hill, a small gradient but enough to hammer range. Also the way down I know I’d a bit of a tail wind as the wind noise from the mirrors was very noisy going down and on the way back it was road noise that was predominant, so a bit of head wind. Mind it was hard to tell by looking at trees.
Edit. The car has been charging exactly one 2pm-3pm hour and has went from 1 to 9% = 32 miles and will take another 12hrs 13mins to 100%
Edit. Again. 2.8 mipkw whole journey.
