Coulomb I figured that'd be the case. Just another nonsensical terminological evolution. Can we use the term ternary lithium?
Peter, on our ZS long-range (that only cost 1000€ more than the standard range, I don't consider that a lot) the car charges to 4.23V/Cell, I don't see any buffer above that ? and discharges to 3.45V empty, possibly leaving a little in the tank at the bottom end. We will see where this gets us in a few years. But I remember doing a quick calculation before purchasing and it seemed to me that with the bigger battery and hence fewer cycles, further from the max and min, that we could do somewhere around 450,000km in the extended range before it would be equivalent to the standard. And in that intervening lifetime we could drive to our customary holiday destinations a couple of times a year without stopping to charge!
I'm sure my children will update you all as to whether that turns out to be true long after my passing ?
