My first range-stretch trip!

[Simon853]

Today I did a 230 mile round trip in my Trophy starting around 6AM when it was about 8 degrees C, getting up to about 20C. I'd set battery heating to start at 5AM and charged it to 100% overnight.

About half the distance was dual-carriageway or motorways where I stuck at a leisurely 62 or 68 respectively where possible. The rest was rural cross-country doing more like 40-50. Only minor elevation changes as I crossed the South Downs (England) and back.

Got home with 13% left, giving me an estimated range to 0 of 264 miles. Got to say, I'm pretty impressed by that! Only a handful below the 271 it estimated before I left.

The improving temperatures are making a noticable difference to range. Gets even better in the summer, you may even exceed the maximum MG quote.

I think I would have exceeded it, if it weren't for me driving it in a bit more of a "spirited fashion" once it was clear I had more than enough juice to get the last 40 miles of motorway home.

Is yours the 77 size battery over there?

That's the Trophy ER ... Trophy LR (per @Simon853's profile) has the 64 kWh battery.
