Today I thought I’d try a cold weather range test from Essex to Berkshire and back, work trip, positive results are below and photo’s attached (Not in order) as evidence.
Fully charged by 7 KWh charger and potential range shown this morning was... 209 miles in ECO or 199 miles in Normal (No fans active) or 177 miles in ECO or 169 miles in Normal (Fans and heating on).
For the purpose of this test I drove with no fans (seat heaters on) and rear window slightly open to stop any window misting; temp was 9 degrees and in KER’s 1
Outwork trip left with 209 miles and completed 70.7 miles, averaged 4.5 miles per KWh and arrived with 129 miles remaining on the GOM. (Lost 9.3 miles from starting figure) this was a mixture of town driving and motorway at about 60 miles per hour.)
Return trip left with 129 miles and completed 72.1 miles, averaged 4 miles per KWh and arrived with 38 miles remaining on the GOM.
(Lost 18.9 miles from starting figure) again a mixture of town, but mainly motorway with speeds nearer to 65.)
So completed 70.7+ 72.1 = 142.8 plus 38 remaining miles and therefore a potential of 180.8 miles is not bad for this time of the year and shows that you can do much better if you can adjust your driving style.
Your comments and thoughts would be appreciated
