Oh can you make it do an equalisation charge?

Just charge to 100% then leave it charging, till the car stops it

You need to charge it to 100% on a 7kw charger and leave it on charge. Can be awkward to do on some TOU tariffs. From the manual:

Equalisation Charging

Where possible it is recommended that you carry out a slow charging (battery equalisation) every month to extend the service life of high-voltage battery pack. Equalisation charging means that after a normal charging process the battery management system will enter a mode where it will attempt to equalise the charge of every battery cell, so as to ensure the overall performance of high-voltage battery pack.

Somehow my range estimate (using the DFRE unit whatever that is) is now considerably longer ~600km up from ~500km post equalisation.

It has been mentioned elsewhere that the consumption data shown does not include that used for AC.

Yeah, that 3.7 figure is computed on total energy - usage inclusive of a/c and EA - the whole energy interface and data presentation is a bit of a mess that I hope is cleaned up soon

I just copy the charge supplied by the charger & note the monthly mileage.

You can change what the GOM uses. I always set mine to WLTP as that seems most accurate atm.

WLTP was delivered with the car but DFRE seems to be a dynamic estimate(?) and seems much more accurate for my use where the A/C load is very high. The glass roof bakes the car during the day drawing heaps of Wh that I don’t think WLTP accounts for?

Impressive!

Ok something really weird happened yesterday afternoon.
I had to take the kids to their martial arts lessons. Drove the car there and car was dead on 2.1 miles per kWh as it is these days.
On the way back home; exactly the same route, speed, elevation rates, temperature I got 2.7!
This morning back to 2.1.
Not sure what happened there lol.
