Miles left

[Brian Hanfrey]

I am getting quite confused. I have a 73 plate ZS EV standard range. Each time I charge it up fully on my Zappi home charger I end up with different estimates of remaning miles. It varies from somewhere in the 160s to over 190. Is this normal?

 

[Gadget Geek]

Yep, perfectly normal. It's just a guess based on previous driving conditions.

If you want it to show a factory GOM then reset the long trip counter, turn everything off AC, heater, fan etc and put in ECO mode.

Could you please explain what GOM means.

Could you please explain what GOM means.

Guess ‘O Meter - the car’s best estimate of your remaining range. Not usually terribly accurate but a reasonable figure to work on.

Thank you.

Your best indicator of performance is the miles/kWh. 2.5, not so good, 3.5 average, anything over 3.5 is good.

The range is a gestimate of how far to empty and is based on how you have recently been driving.

Also the ambient temperature has an effect on the range, the colder the battery gets the less efficient it is, therefore less milage range.

I bought my ZS EV in March 2025 and a full 100% charge reported a range of 188miles. In the last 2 weeks this suddenly reduced to 158miles - a considerable drop. Have tried the suggestions above but cannot get it above 160miles, even after leaving on charge for 4hours above the 100% - I am home charging at 10amps. Anyone got any further suggestions as 30miles is a significant sudden drop

It is winter. I was seeing 3.3 mi/kWh as an average now I see 2.9 on most trips

Have you reset the trip counters?
Turn the car on with AC and fan all off and in ECO mode to see what you get.
