May I please ask for some rough indications of range as I am going to embark on my first longish motorway trip.

My ID.3 has the 45kw battery.

My driving style is conservative and y long term stats indicate 4.7 miles/kWh.

I fully appreciate that turning on air con etc will diminish the range.

However, assuming I don't use air con/heater and drive at say a steady 70 mph what is the realistic range of my car?

Thank you

Grant

At 70 you'll get 3.2-3.5m/kwh.
Drop to 60 and you'll get 3.8-4

I'd say 130-160 miles depending how you drive.

This is what I love about the forum. There's just about an answer to every question asked. I don't even have my car yet and I've learned a boat load of info about it. So if I have any problems when i eventually get the car, this place will have the answers.

Excellent work guys!

I regularly do a Manchester to Hull commute. 110 miles door to door each way.

On the 58kwh battery in Summer I could probably just squeak in the round trip on a 100% charge (not tried).

In winter it takes c.70% if it’s cold, wet, a headwind and I’m in a bit of a hurry. Usually it’s 60% (I can charge for free when I’m there). That covers from 3 to 3.8m/kWh I think!

Happy to help - what usually happens (to me) is that I end up driving at 70-75 then about half way realise I may be tight to the charger/destination - so slow down to 60 and get there with plenty left!!

Imho THE biggest lack of info on the ID3’s displays is the predicted SOC on arrival… this would be so so useful and stop me having to figure it out as I drive or use ABRP with an OBD dongle…

I think(!) Battery Life showed this was going to be indicated in the nav with 3.0. Inc predicted SoC on arrival at a scheduled charging stop. Obviously only if you are using the in-car nav.
Perhaps someone with 3.0 could test it out?

One of the best things on the Polestar I test drove on Monday was to say ‘ok google: take me to Liverpool’ and it would bring it up on the nav with the expected soc at the end - and if abs where any charges were required etx.

It. Just. Worked. 👍

If it was really intelligent:-

You- "take me to Liverpool"
Car- "don't forget to bring a shell suit" :lol:

For a Polestar I think a Derek Hatton shiny grey suit might be a more appropriate suggestion 😁

Only if you were close to an MSA with one free connector… 😂

Usually steer clear of the MSA's for that very reason. Very rarely have I pulled straight up to a free MSA connector.

For those of us (me) with less worldly wide experience ......what is MSA?

Sorry, well my interpretation of MSA is Motorway Service Station.

Obvious really...doh. I'm so dim.

I try to avoid them, they seem to be full of people that either don't like me, overcharge me or taking up parking spaces whilst shopping.

lol
