Is this right? I'm happy with the charge rate on the granny charger, but at 50% the forecast range is about 260 miles. Seems very low, even in the current temp.

Regardless how you charge, 3-pin (that's what I do) or 7kW charging, range forecast depends on the way you drive, if you are more "energy efficient" estimated range will be higher.

For example, I now have 75% and 250 miles range on my iSmart app
 
Ohhhh - that's me buggered then, I drive like the back of my car is on fire!

😂😂 What I learned from my last EV was "relax and enjoy the ride" when worrying about all those battery SoH, balancing, energy savings, freeze in winter-boil in summer no A/C drives ... so, drive as you like, enjoy your ride and just charge slightly more often overnight on cheap tariff ... happy days...

Agree. Think some worry more about, this that and t'other, where EVs are concerned. Than actually enjoying the car. 🙄😉🙂👍
