Full charge range

[JimGS]

I have had my S5 for a month and understood the full charge range to be 288 miles on the Trophy extended range variant, I am getting varying full charge ranges, today 280 miles, previous charge 294 miles other charges as low as 274, is anyone else getting similar?

Range displayed in ANY EV is just an estimation, and referred to by most as a Guessometer. The actual achieved range is dependant on driving style, speed, weather, hilliness, etc.
Don't worry, it is perfectly normal.
And the WLTP figure given is a specified test , not a promise.

As has been said it's just a best guess from previous journeys, if you had spent a few weeks just pottering about town and then did 100% charge it would likely be a high estimated range, it would soon adjust if you undertook a longish motorway type journey. You would see it drop quite quickly (losing more miles than you were actually doing) as it adjusted to your current journey type.

If you want the factory GOM then reset your trip counter, turn off AC fan etc and put in ECO mode.
