So... Completed another long journey cross country yesterday. Arrived with 10% battery and 20 or 21 estimated GOM miles (in Normal). Ambient temp I would guess at 10-12 degrees. Had nailed it, arriving with 10%, or so I thought! Surely a reasonable buffer to aim for?
Intended to get up this morning and charge nearby as my destination didn't have private charging. Ambient temp 8 degrees.
To my horror as per the title it had dropped from 10% to 3%, displaying --- on the GOM (and 6 miles on the battery screen).
This seemed like a sheer drop.
I would expect small fluctuations (ambient temp, battery temp, general weather etc) but this seems extreme - would you agree?
The first chargers I went to we're both in use and the second, thankfully, available. They were both within 0.5 miles or so, so no drama in that regard. But it was an unpleasant moment for sure!
Comments/thoughts/suggestions as to cause / future "remedy" (or how to avoid!) welcome!
