If using a home charger pre heat the battery, heat up the cabin to squeeze out some more miles.
Also when it's quite cold I find the battery readout isn't accurate, sometimes it sticks sometimes it reads low.
Something I've noticed on long descents is the Kers drops off after a while. I think the power goes to a capacitor first and when that's full the Kers drops to -40 amp as it can't charge the battery fast enough.
Or I could be talking crap.
Had this a few times. Had it drop 40% when it should only be 15-20%. Then it went back up to 73% and stayed there for 20 miles. Eventually it sorted itself out but it is a pain as you can't guarantee you've got the miles.
I mean I don't have Bluetooth on my phone normally, so I don't think the phone is causing it. I'll play about with it later and see if it works though.
I've got them in my cupboard. My only issue with using them in the car is the cold weather we're having meeting with the battery. Thinking of getting lights they will illuminate under the boot floor when lifted.
I don't use Bluetooth music. The radio is visible but I have to press the play button or the steering wheel button two times. I usually have the radio on all the time to remind me to lock the doors when parked.
