Simple question - how big is the traction battery?
Is it 52kWh gross and 50 nett or what?
Reason - last week charged to 100% (212 miles). It was a 50 mile round trip - had to wait until 187 miles left before 'B' mode worked. Consumption was 3.5m/kWh for the outward journey (no regen) but 4.5m/kWh on the return. Shows how essential regen is.
So Dear Renault - is it possible to add a variable charge limit?
Is there a bottom and top buffer to protect the Li-Ion battery pack? I'm starting to think there is no top or upper buffer - hence the loss of the top12.5% with the message - battery Full - no B mode available. I've got used to 'B' mode and don't like driving without it. The reason I charged to 100% was to let the cells balance - hoping the range will increase.
So Dear Renault - is it safe to charge to 100% - or is it like a Tesla - only before a long journey?
Let me explain the 'Dear Renault' bit. The following is my last e-mail from Renault - the original question was 'how to I get theComfort program to work'.
Concerning that matter, I consulted with our technical department and they informed me that this situation is caused by a glitch on the system and Renault is developing a fix to resolve it. You will receive a notification when the solution is presented, but please keep in mind that due to the Covid-19 situation, we do not have a specific date or time to communicate. Our sincere apologies for any inconveniences.
Thanks Renault.
Has anyone found a way of contacting Renault and getting sensible answers?
