@kezo How are you finding your EV only range during this cold snap? Aside from the fact that the fully charged range of around 38 miles drops to 35 miles within a few hundred yards of leaving the house (as it always has), I’m finding that the stated EV range on the computer is nowhere near achievable.
As an example, I was in London yesterday (by train) and when I got back to the car at the station last night it showed I had 22 miles EV range remaining. The station is 14 miles from my house, yet the EV range was fully depleted when I was still 3 miles from home, so the stated 22 miles actually only lasted 11 miles, and that was with the engine idling almost the journey in order to warm the car.
I know that this is a problem with BEVs in cold weather as well, but when forum members were quoting what their ranges were showing as in cold weather recently, I had assumed that the range stated in the car was allowing for the temperature? Perhaps not, and in reality the actual ranges they were getting were much lower than stated? I guess with a BEV you might not notice it as much, as you would never use the entire range up on a journey so may not be keeping such a close eye on it, whereas with a PHEV you plan journeys to ensure that 100% of the EV range is used, so you are acutely aware of the total EV mileage that you get in reality, rather than what the cars computer says?
