On my way home this afternoon I stopped to charge at Rugby Moto services to charge for the final 150 miles home. When I returned to the car it was at 78% with a range of 148 miles so I unlocked the car and the charging stopped ?. Rather than restart a charge thought I would do a final top up at another charger if needed.
Had the car on Eco and turned off the AC which improved the range to 4 miles more than the journey so decided to go for it...
Last 5 miles is uphill but the range said 7 so thought it would be okay. At 2 miles range and 1% battery the car reduced speed considerably to about 20mph. At 0 range and battery it told me to park the car safely, but fortunately I was on a short downhill stretch home so the regen kept it going.
Won't do that again and definitely squeaky bottom time but hopefully helps anyone that also pushes it...
