How Low Can You Go .... (SoC)

[hojnikb]

Anyone tried going below 0% on the 51? I'm really curious how much bottom buffer that car has.

I recall that someone did this in Malaysia/Thailand ... they have a 51kWh LFP Trophy spec version over there that they did this test on. I think the results are in a forum post here somewhere.

Is this the thread you're thinking of?

No ... that was Bjorn's test of a Trophy 64kWh NMC car, in Norway. I'm thinking about one of our Malaysian/Thai forum members who was part of a team that did a similar test in their own Far East country.

We'll await the results of your test.

Too scared to do that without a portable battery of some sorts.

As low as i went was to 0% indicated. Still felt it has some juice left in it.

I suspect the sub 0% to be about ~1.5kWh, 2kWh tops.

Got mine down to 1% and 1 mile showing after a long run out with friends for the day. Took it easy the last few miles and made it home. Wife wasn't too impressed though
