Was in the red zone for the first time this morning on the motorway coming back from Edinburgh. Wasn't pleasant. Got to my destination ok now on a rapid 50kw charger while I scoff a breakfast. Good to know what the car can do 😬
 
You mean below 25% battery? it's worrying the first couple of times but once you get to know what your car can do range wise it ceases to be an issue.
 
I have had mine as low as 4% after a long journey, you become a constant calculator in your mind on long trips, charging so you can get home. I tend to allow 5 to 10% over in case of detours or use of heater etc, but once you get used to your car, it's fun I always work on 20 Miles per 10% battery at motorway speed limits, never that far off!
 
Had my best range day ever yesterday, I did 84 miles on 31% battery. The range does tend to drop faster under 25% (or it seems to) but in summer, 50 miles should be easily attainable as m4rmite says. In winter? maybe 35 miles if it's really cold.

Does anyone know if the GOM stops displaying the miles (shows dashes --) when under a certain battery percentage? Also when does reduce power kick in (turtle mode).
