I charged on a public 7kw yesterday and only got half power for most of it starting at 29%. It did ramp up eventually when the battery had warmed up.

Yes, mine seems quite efficient, more so than the 2 MGs I've had but not in the same league as Teslas. Quite often in the not cold ie anywhere from about 15 degrees upward GOM will show 300 and is accurate but this last trip without heater on it reduced to 274 at -2, and then with heater on...

Well we had a completely uneventful trip to Heythrop. We set off the temperature at -2 and it never got above +1. With Heater set on auto after a pre warm, GOM reduced it's estimate to 225 range and so we set off and hit the M1. Mindful of the temperature I decided to moderate speed to 65 on...

Medieval times.

Heading off on a 165 mile adventure this morning. Car is at full and saying range of 271. which must be taking account of the weather, currently -2, but no snow. That's a drop from WLTP of 302. Once the heater goes on that will drop considerably as no heat pump, and the heating will obviously be...

I don't know.

Well if your guys hadn't allied with France.......... :D

Building quality built cars that last doesn't seem to have done Toyota any harm as a business.

Without wanting to get political I wish we could get over the idea that this country has been the worst in history and what we have inflicted on countries throughout the world' We were far from the worst European offenders in the 'slave trade' era for example, and we administered our colonies...

Don't forget the average attention span of some seems to have diminished to less than 10 minutes. :unsure: Short and snappy is the modern way. :)

Yes. Same as Tesla or Ionity membership. Easy.

Unfortunately the way the world is currently going I suspect that could be the majority.

These things never happen until they happen. First time in my EV life the boot hadn't shut properly and overnight drained the 12v. Had the booster in the frunk thankfully.

Fascinating. I know comparatively little technically about how hybrids work so followed your lead and did a tiny bit of digging. It appears they do have a dedicated 12v but it is contained within the HV battery assembly itself. It has a reset button usually near the fuse box, the equivalent of...

Same applies.
