I squeaked home last night on about zilch in the tank. I had around 40 odd% at lunchtime and fancied a coffee so I went to Dobbies Garden Centre in Edinburgh for my free monthly drink there to save some expense . Coming back on the M9 there was still too much power so I skipped the turn off and reached Stirling and back leaving a couple of percentage points displayed when I got home.
I plugged the Rolec in and went indoors to prepare my haddock dinner with teriyaki sauce and mixed salad.
I’ve just had a look on Rolec’s app to see the following still being reported:-

So I ended up having a walk around the Hospital loch in Ballachuilish then just drove home. It was such a fabulous day and evening. Traffic’s been very thin on the ground. The car has been fantastic- fully balanced 100% -245 miles charged and arrived back on 15% - 34 miles. The dashboard was showing an average of 4.4 miles/ kWh which is pretty good for an ev.

Had our first long drive of the summer on Monday, over to Norfolk and back and a total distance of around 160 miles.

Forgot to get the details of the first leg (60 miles), but the second leg (20 miles to the country house at Holkham Hall) we got 5.3 miles to the KwH! and our return of 83 miles averaged 4.3 miles to the KwH!!

Thank heavens for mildly warm weather!

I did my "standard" 15 mile round trip to the nearest town and back via the builders merchant, yesterday, and got over 5m/kWh without even trying. Normal mode and I only put KERS on 3 for the last 5 miles because there are a couple of useful bits of downhill bits.

The downside was I put the first scratch on the car.

Well done but commiserations about the “badge of honour”

9 days into May and I'm hopeful it will improve further , but the Welsh winter is just around the corner

I’m loving the warmer weather. 1000 miles in this month at managing 4.0 in my FL5.

And this picture is after my commute home. 26% to do 62miles

I’m still envious of the PFL5 numbers getting posted on here.

If you want to feel better about it: add another 10%-15% to your numbers if you’re driving 17” wheels and B rated tyres..

I was supposed to get an SE as my company car but there weren’t any so got a Trophy. Couldn’t live without the front camera and heated seats now.
