With that sort of consumption I don’t see this being a problem
!. Oh dear..... Meanwhile in a far corner of Scroteby services, a dimly lit bev makes repeated clunking noises whilst awaiting the boys in yellow ?Excellent result Michael !.
Weather conditions where about as good as they get, careful driving skills and the efficiency & average speed reflects this.
I have witnessed 5.2 M/kwh in my car on a couple of occasions, the norm is around 4.3 / 4.5 M/kwh.
Happy with that to be honest.
You have 249 miles of predicted range left, from your 290 miles that you started with and covered 52.8 miles of actual distance.
Interesting to see what would happen to the 249 miles of predicted range remaining, IF you pressed the reset button for your accumulated trip ( My gut reaction thinks it would slip below 50 miles myself ).
I am also a "Normal" driving mode man myself, never bother with Eco or Sport.
They are both available with applying more or less pressure on the "GO" pedal anyway.
I drive carefully because I am in NO great hurry to wait ANOTHER 12 months for a replacement car if mine is involved in an accident !.
Today we where travelling at 38 Mph in a 40 Mph limit, when an aggressive driver came speeding up behind us.
If he was any closer, he would have been inside of my boot !.
He made an over take ( and exceeded the speed limit of course ) then made a gesture with his hand through the window, that suggested he thought I was travelling too slowly ?
A mile down the road, he was held up at a set of traffic lights ?.
These are the type of drivers that you are up against.
If he wants to damage his car and risking harm to himself and his passengers, that is fine by me.
But its the innocent careful drivers that always come off the worst.
Look forward to seeing Part 2 of your trip.
I charge my LR to 80% SOC exclusively, unless we are about to make a long journey.
38mph is bloody good considering the plethora of f****** speed restrictions nowadays!
We are in one of the trial area's for the mandatory 20 Mph speed limits trough towns in Wales.
According to what I've heard ALL built up areas will be 20 mph throughout the country. Congestion charges for all vehicles will apply, in major towns so so much for your 'green' electric vehicle credentials. Watch as England follows suit! Have a look at Stuart Fillingham's latest u-tube video. As an ex copper and a blunt talking Yorkshireman he gives you the unvarnished facts.
It looks like one area in Wales is about to take a U-turn on the 20 Mph policy !.
Amazing how money can be found for non essentials. How much is HS2 eventually going to cost?
No it is not generally accepted, some areas have seen a rise in accidents where implemented, and in any case a 'one size fits all' smacks of lazy thinking not scientific benefit.
I support this type of initiative in areas like schools and heavy populated areas.
Mandatory speed limits must be enclosed in a red circle:
