Hi all – I have my second EV – Elroq 85 Sportline Maxx – ordered 2nd quarter 2025 collected end of July – no longer on scheme but hopefully will return.
EV’s work for me – I have a drive and so charging for me is easy.
My reason for this post a simple fact
This morning around 8 am outside temp -4 c checked car range out of curiosity
Battery Range 56% – 143 miles and yes I did get in a very cold car as if I was about to drive so figures were an accurate current approximation.
If I were really going for a drive I would have defrosted from app – usually 15 mins to do a good job of 19 in cabin and totally clear screens and mirrors – and if I wanted to have maxed range it would have been plugged in charged to max then defrost just before needing car – therefore not using any battery.
Because of my mobility issues this is a huge help for me on cold frosty mornings – I really did struggle this morning to get into a cold car and check this but I wanted to be sure of my stats.
My point – don’t have a closed mind to EVs – do your research with an open mind – not one that has already decided – you might be surprised!!
