Decided to take the car on a 270 mile work trip, set the mobile connect to charge car to 100% 48hrs I started it, before I left but as usual it stopped at 87% and had a error which stopped it early.
Anyway.... as car was prewarmed and straight off the charger I should get a better battery life from a 4s Performance?
I live near motorway so straight onto motor way and cruise control in range mode at 65/75mph traffic depending.
I thought I’d use the chargers in sat Nav to ensure the prewarming of battery was complete and when it asked me to stop.
1st Leg
87% start battery - 100 miles - 13% end.
Charged to 88% - £69!!!!!! Cost from Ionity in 40 mins (350Kw Ionity charger but only charged @5.1mi/min). This is the fastest, newest and most technically advance charger in the UK (according to the write up) but car could only pull in 40min or 100kwh. But, there is only 4 of these from in top 2/3 of country from Peterborough to Scotland most are just 50kW.
2nd Leg
88% start - 112 Miles - 33% end
Charged to 67% - £10.35 in 51 mins
(50kW Ecotricity but only charged @1.7mi/min)
Charging stopped early, spoke to helpline who said it was car that stopped the charge. ‘Supervisor stoppage’ ?
67% start - 51 miles - 36% end
Charged to 91% - £15 in 1hr 20 mins
(50KW Polar charger). Charged in about 1hr20mins and said it paused for some reason at end of charge? Even though direct charging is enabled. No timer is set, and the normal general charge profile with min 85% active but direct charging ticked.
So I ended up with similar charge to when I left but it cost me £94.00 for a 270mile journey (34p a mile). And 2hrs50mins of charging (plus faffing 3hrs20mins) onto - long 3hr50min journey.
So in 8hrs I travelled just over 270miles, spent £94 and I could then do my onward journey.
1st leg 65% battery for 100miles
2nd leg 55% battery for 122miles
3rd leg 31% battery for 51miles
Anyone else do some real world calculations? What’s your thoughts?
Im impressed with car but not with the cars electronics or battery. Am Expecting too much for £111k
