Hi everyone,
So the car has been sat pretty much in the driveway since march. Since I only bought it late last year I have no idea what the range is like in Summer.
I'm planning on going down to (finally!) see some friends in in Oxford, which I make it about 430mi away.
A few questions:
- 1) How accurate is ABRP as far as reference consumption goes, optimistic, pessimistic or about right?
- 2) Can anyone help with a rough guide of energy consumption at say 60, 65 or 70mph. It'll be pretty much motorway driving all the way. I kind of prefer to do my own planning with back-ups just in case
- 3) Looks like I'll need about 7(!) CCS rapid charges to get me there. Assuming they all work, so I'll be avoiding Ecotricity like the plague, is that OK? I'm conscious we don't have an active cooled battery and I may be doing 30 min driving followed by 30min charging at times
Looking at the weather next week, Thursday looks like a good day. 18-23°C en-route, slight tailwind and no rain.
