I reached another EV milestone today.
I left my car at Stanstead Airport for 2 weeks returning today, knackered from travelling since early this morning. The Grey One, as it is known, has been showing it had managed to gain a few miles of range on the app while I was 1800 miles away checking in on how it was doing in the Long Stay car park. No need to have had any concern. Reassuring unfolding blinking wing mirrors greeted me, cases in the boot and back home.
Im an older driver and suffered some terribly unreliable cars since my very first car, a 10 year old Hillman Minx convertible in 1967. Failures at the worst times in the worst conditions leave you wondering what can go wrong next.
I'm from an old technology era and took a leap of faith in the ID3 8 months ago and so glad I did.
The Grey One is a cracker 😊

I think you have possibly gained a few miles of range due to battery temperature being warmer than when you left the car previously.
I gain around 5 miles or range on a sunny day as apposed to a cloudy day.
