First long distance drive 😬

[Jeps]

Exactly

 

[kiltox]

The SOC was below 10%.

 

[SCB86]

Mine had one bar left too and showed 10% when plugged in.

 

[Mark Holmes]

Exactly

I wonder if the power is still there then, but that the car doesn’t see it....I wouldn’t want to test that theory though...

 

[SCB86]

I used 36.2Kw according to the PodPoint app.

 

[Jeps]

I am not sure, but the lowest I have been was 8% left and 17 km. But I think the last bar had gone by that time. But I am not 100% sure!

Yes when you get to low the last bar will disappear, it had certainly disappeared before I hit 15 miles remaining when I wanted to see how low I would dare to go.

 

[Jeps]

The GOM gets more accurate the lower you get in SOC.

 

[Cocijo]

I think its12.5%. But there’s clearly no range showing.

 

[kiltox]

It was definitely below 12.5% - it was below that when I tried plugging into the first rapid.

Couldn't you see the % left on instrument cluster?

Neither charger worked. The first one reported that my SOC was 11% before it failed, the - - - came on as I drove to the second, which also failed.

Yes I saw your YouTube video.

Aha I think I just watched your YouTube video too.

I’ve got 116 miles round trip tomorrow from Mine to Cambridge and back, let’s see how I get on with my range, but it shouldn’t be an issue with a projected temperature of 13 degrees .....

Let us know how you got on

On the YouTube vids for European and Thai versions the dash battery light comes on at 20% remaining charge and then flashes at 10%... Are UK models like that too?

 

[SCB86]

My red battery light illuminated permanently at about 30 miles remaining range. When I plugged it in I had 10% battery left and 12 miles range. The battery light never flashed - just came on and stayed on.

First stage is about 43 miles where the yellow warning light comes on, as it gets lower it starts to flash (can’t remember at what stage), next stage the warning light goes red...! But again can’t remember when it maybe at about 20 miles, but maybe less.

How did your range drop, when you compare the actual range driven compared to what GOM showed?

First leg of the journey today from Essex to Cambridge, Via Motorway.
Temp 9-10 degrees please see attached pictures left fully charged with estimated GOM reading of 170 in ECO with heating on blob two and fans on three. Voltage 454 volts fully charged and average 3.6 miles per KWh.
Leg two will be completed without heating and fans to see the difference
