What is documented Max speed in EV mode

[Deleted member 3150]

Can anyone tell me if there is a manufacturers top speed documented as capable in the HS PHEV while in EV mode please?

Not sure on the HS PHEV.
But my previous car was a VW Golf PHEV and the top speed in electric mode was around 80Mph I think from memory.
But at that speed, you would empty the HV battery very quickly !.
Anything above 50 Mph and I would be switching to Hybrid auto and saving my EV range for latter in the journey, though slow moving town driving.

I did 120km/h on EV already , but I pushed the car a little to hard and then the ICE turned on. I think if you don't put your foot all the way down you can go faster than 120 in EV mode.

Kick down would trigger Engine. I mostly drive in average speed zone but engine hasn’t come on until 75mph so far

Brochure says 81mph/130kph

 

[JABO]

it does go beyond the 130kmh, there's a gearchange at 125, and it doesn't seem to be capped after that

I just did 135km/h just to test it....so...I don't know how far it goes but I don't want to test it....?

 

[JABO]

Did you get the extra gearchange around 125 ?

 

[VenumX]

Yup!

 

[hermitdave]

Yup!

Maybe that’s Gear 4? Was it as slow as the one from 44-50mph change?

 

[VenumX]

It's a little bit faster...

With the new update the car is recieving now, ev topspeed is limited to 130 km/h, before you could go much faster, i have done 145 km/h in ev mode in mine, but the problem is going this fast in ev mode makes the ev powertrain overheat, thats why they limit it now.

I’ve now had it officially confirmed as 130kmph so just over 80 mph.

As I suspected in ( #3 ) above, my previous VW PHEV was 80 Mph in electric mode.
