Charging

[Potter]

Four months into ownership and very pleased with the car. Minor niggle opening the boot with the key fob resolved by the dealership.

I've noticed the last two times I've charged the car to 80% the range has only shown 168 miles not the usual 218 (it wasn't too cold on each occasion 6 - 8 degrees). Any thoughts why?

6C-8 C is enough to reduce range. 168 at 80% seems like a reasonable figure given there would be some battery heating as well as cabin heating.
Comparable with mine at 80%.

6-8C is still cool enough to require warming of the battery array to 14C. If your journeys are short enough for the battery array not to be heated fully at the destination then the toll will be pretty heavy.

Agreed 168 miles at 80% is a typical range for those temps, last time we we saw anything like a 218 estimate at 80% charge was in the summer months.

The batteries may have also soaked at a lower overnight temperature than a drive away temp of 6C or so and need that extra shot to reach an optimal run temperature.

There are other threads here about lower range in colder weather.

Charged mine earlier to 80% and its only showing 220 miles.
Like all have said its to be expected.
