Range challenge

[Ukchris]

Just fully charged my zs se lr for a long run and my range indicator in eco mode reads........371 miles,can anyone beat that ?

It's a fairly pointless exercise I suppose. Reset the trip computer, cruise down a big hill and then charge up and you have a fantasy guesstimate....

I'm guessing you're a glass half empty kind of person.

Just to let you know I ALL WAYS RESET the trip computer after every charge. I can't help it if you have a lead right foot

Pictures please or it didn't happen.
FWIW, the "range indicator" is actually a guessometer, AKA GOM, which is meaningless in terms of real world mileage, so it's not a Range Challenge really it's a challenge to see who can defeat the GOM software.

I've had efficiency of up to 5.5 miles per kwh recently, which would give about that if a whole trip was at that efficiency. I've never reset the trip computer since I got the car in Sept 22. The equivalent 100% (I divide the miles showing by the remaining battery percentage and then multiply by 100) range I have been getting in the last month is between 270 to 300 miles (if its warmer outside, its the higher end). Its currently showing 153 miles at 53% battery.

It's a guess to an extent if people are being honest and not trying to manipulate for higher miles is a useful tool.

It can be used to amend how people drive a their is a difference in ev/ice cars around convenience.

Ev is more about being efficient driving to maximise battery and planning charge times so driving style needs to be different. GOM can help with that
