Reset your accumulative trip, what does that do to your predicted range on the GOM ?.
We have a Trophy
LR.
I always tend to charge from around the 40 ish % up to 80% on our car.
With both trips reset to zero, the App reports 212 miles of range.
The cars reports 211 strangely enough.
But without resetting the accumulative trip, I have seen it report an inflated 224 miles of range, but I prefer to work from a know level myself.
It is a prediction regardless.
But it does appear consistence in these predicted returns.
I always charge from home on a wall box, no rapid charging required ( as of yet ).
We have covered about 2,500 miles from our collection on the 18th March 22.
We have a longer trip to make next Tuesday down to Harlech in Wales.
We have made this trip about 6 times in the previous ZS EV we had, before the LR.
I WAS planning to fully charge to 100% over night, prior to the trip.
But I have an idea
that I may just charge to the 80% mark, then see how that compares to a known result on the original ZS EV.
When we first had the original model, I made a mental note of when the amber low range warning came on when driving home.
I found that after the 3 - 4 trip and time, the amber low range light
would come on earlier on in the return trip home.
These journeys where evenly spread out over the two year period and the total 18,000 miles we covered in the car before upgrading to the ZS LR.
The trips where made at similar times of the year and over similar distances covered.
On the last trip, we arrived home with only about 25 miles of range left.
A lot less than when we made the first trip !.
Some battery
degradation present of course at this point.
It will be very interesting to see what the LR returns home with, after the trip next week.
Before exchanging the previous ZS EV it would display an estimated range of 154 miles of range, after a full charge and balance.
Default mode of normal and Regen level 3.
Plenty of cushion then with the reported 212 miles at 80% on the LR model.
I do find the predicted range to be fairly accurate on the whole, it was pretty consistent on the previous model to be fair.
