Km not miles?

Think I may have a battery problem then as the most I've ever got is 170 miles in a single trip. 260/330 ???

Just that when doing the occasional long trip and trying to plan how to only charge once, I try to plan as long into the trip as I can for the stop. I assume the range of 160ml needed from a full charge depends on getting at least 3 mls/kWh for the whole trip. So when halfway there and I see...

Further to above. In addition to above, below is a photo showing battery at 55%, which I reckon as 35.2 KW. Multiplying that by the 2.8 MLS/KW figure shown, would indicate a range of 98.56 MLS, not the 129 displayed. 128 MLS from 33.2 KW, I think, would suggest a MLS/KW of 3.6. ???

Only had it using Google, but always after a "lost GPS signal" and looking at the map, it's obvious the car is lost.

👍 not sure I've ever had 4 in the 18 months I've had the car. Remember seeing 3.8 .

As previously stated, this is without the AC on.

It's always been off

I have had similar experiences but only when using Android auto and Google maps, when the car can suddenly lose GPS signal and start giving random directions. Don't think I've noticed it when using onboard navigation system.

Very confused about the mls/kWh readings. Sometimes when I start the car it can start as low as 1.8 and slowly increase as the journey proceeds. However the predicted range doesn't seem to increase at all relative to the reading. The car reviews would suggest it should be around 4. I understand...

Although I always try to reverse into a car park Space, when I need easy access to the boot on have had drive into the space to park, I have had several emergency stops when reversing back out of the space, but so far every one justified by a subsequent approaching car or pedestrian. I will...

On a similar thread. Usually a very low mileage driver (3000 miles a year) so usually no range anxiety. However I travel 250 MLS to visit Mum a few times. This time planned to recharge at 220ml after starting on 100%. Right from the start MLS/KW was showing 2.2 though did slowly creep up to 3.4...

Random possibly stupid question. Does the AC when used to heat car, recover any heat from the engine or is it all generated using the battery? Have noticed that when the AC is switched on predicted mileage drops. I assume a lot of heat is generated by the car running, hence the coolants and...

Trophy. Maybe it's a phone related thing. I've got a Moto. Can't find a setting that overrides media volume being reduced, safety feature probably. Doesn't happen when using car radio.
