EV newby and Granny Charging

[JohninDevon]

Just taken the plunge and very pleased with the car however, I plugged it in last night and it said 16.03 which I assumed was how long to full. Left it on all night and today till about 4:30 but my wife reports it only had 130 something miles showing when she went out just now.
How do I get it up to 160?

The Granny charger puts about 7mls per hour into the battery so depending how much range you had left when you charged it should give you an idea of how long to get to 160mls.

Also It needs to be on EcoMode to say 160. On sports mode it will say 130/140.

If you're saying the the car is indicating that the battery is full and showing 130 miles then it could be that the car has not been driven as economically as it could have previously. The range shown is only a guess, by the car, based on previous driving style.
Also if you have the heater or AC on, the range shown will be lower, mine usually shows about 10 miles less with heat and/or AC on.

I haven't charged to full since the cooler weather arrived, but mine was showing 163 in Normal mode when I last charged it to full about two months ago.

Sorry but if it is in Eco mode it should show more than 163. It should show 163 in normal mode. Mine does. Sport mode takes about 15mls off Eco puts about 10 on.
