today I had to do a trip which is 180KM 80km from point A to B then 100km from B to home
and I wasn't starting from home and wasn't planning to do this trip

I had 53% so I was asking my self can I do it or not
53% showed me that I have a range of 220km so I was on the ok side I wouldn't call it the safe side

started the journey on a range mode with no AC weather was ok 24-28C
Speed 110-140KM/H
I reached home at 1%:whew::whew::whew::whew: and 8KM of the estimated range I will never do it again


funny thing I notice
my estimated range will DROP if I youse google Maps..... can someone explain that ???

Well at least you managed to get the battery down to 1% and get home. That will help make the range prediction more accurate in the future.

Personally I divide the estimated range by 2 if I want guaranteed range, especially with city driving.

The range given by the car should always be the best estimate possible.

Might depend on country, but here Google's usually quite wrong.
