Been driving the work EV today, well this one’s a hybrid really. Regen not as good as the XP..
Found a great thread on here regarding main beam adjustment so will have a fiddle with that asap, the birds are waking up as I drive home because it’s pointing at their nests, and the dark shadow line is getting on my nerves.
First charge tonight since I bought it, updated the Ohme app and switched cars on it, the 8m cable reaches just fine, was worried I’d have to shuffle the driveway to make it reach (installed everything for front port MG5).
Getting high 3’s mpkwh, but it’s quite warm. Like for like it’s a bit juicier than the 5 but nothing to fret over with IOG charging. 5 was doing low 3’s over the winter, darkness, dual carriageways and heating really hammer the battery. Using eco mode and heated seats on the 4. Not trying to save pennies but optimising my range as my commute is 30 miles each way. If I can get 3 days per charge I’ll be more than happy, but 2 days is perfectly ok.
Some harmonic resonance present but nothing I’m worried about just yet. The mix of roads I use doesn’t really fit in the humming range, on the A34 I cruise at 60ish, just because all the loons go steaming past and I find it more relaxing.
Elsewhere on the route I find the flat handling very reassuring and the drive to work is as relaxing as in the 5. And I find the audio excellent, been playing Marillion today and sounds as good as on the home hifi!
Happy Bunny here
