My last car a Kona didn’t have one and my current car scenic e-tech does and I see absolutely no difference at all. Both have the same range bearing in mind I’d expect a bigger more modern battery in the scenic to be better. Nope I’m still getting about 220 miles range.
Just this last month I seem to be having a problem that others have mentioned in that the scenic does not heat well. The Kona was a steady 21 degrees and nice and so was the scenic. But just recently it blows out cold air up to 23 degrees and I need to set it at 24+ sometimes I have to put it on at full pelt just to warm the car and the burning smell is not nice at that temp.
Funny a doctor just told me last week in hospital that I’m always hypothermic as my body temperature is always around 33.2 to 33.7 lol.
