My recent home charge to 100% gave a result of 100%/274 miles. The miles seems to be creeping up. I suspect this is a combination of the car intelligently monitoring my driving style (I'm now getting an average 3.9/4.0 mi/kWh) and perhaps the battery needs some time to settle down into my charging routine. Anything else?

Maybe. I had always put that down to being a nervous driver as I observed it long before ACC came into being.

Indeed that is so and you are correct. However, I can always override the ACC by applying the brake myself if I see a need arising ahead of me. Similarly I can accelerate manually as well if I should need to. I, the driver am always the one in control and ACC is my servant merely helping me.

That's a good question that deserves an answer! I'll check when I next get the chance and report back. Others may already know of course?

I agree that can be an issue. I always use the distance setting on top of the ACC lever to set the maximum distance. I'm interested to know if that has an impact on mi/kWh? To me, I don't think so, but could be wrong!

Interesting. I use ACC almost all the time now, for two reasons. 1. It responds to the speed limit and increases and reduces my speed as I cross speed limit signs. 2. In traffic, I can relax and let the ACC move me along with the traffic, starting and stopping as required. At first my foot was hovering over the brake. But now I have confidence that it works.

Many thanks. I live in North Hertfordshire, drive around town during the week and to Harlow and around there each weekend, 30 miles each way with A roads and some dual carriageway. Once a month or so I drive to North Norfolk for a few days. It’s 90 miles each way , mostly motorways. I use B around town and when stuck in traffic and D when on open roads and motorways. I usually set drive mode to ECO. I am gentle on the accelerator and drive smoothly, with anticipation and no sudden braking or acceleration. I watch the green/blue line and try to minimise the green. I charge to 100% at home and top up to 60/80% at rapid chargers as and when needed. I’ve only had the car since March and am still learning a new way of driving, managing my charging and understanding the myriad setting. This is my first EV, coming from a petrol Karoq previously. Since March I have done 2,300 miles. Thanks in advance for any hints and tips to improve my performance.

I don’t think so , as I expect battery needs to be greater in the winter than the summer, although I tend to have the A/C on all year for both cooling nd heating. I don’t actually do high mileage, hence the 60 and not the 85. I understand the limitations but my quest is to eke out as many miles from a charge as I can from an efficiency and cost point of view. I average 3.7 mi/kWh and see others achieving the likes of 4.4. So I am interested to learn from them and discover how l can improve my driving and settings to improve my own mi/kWh figure.

4.4mi/kWh is impressive. How do you achieve that? I’m very gentle on the throttle, D mode and mostly ECO drive. With A/C on I tend to get about 3.7 mi/kWh. I know you have an 85 and I have a 60, bu5 can’t see that would make a difference.

How have you managed 300? Is yours an Elroq 60? I’m getting 240 miles at100%!

The other day I was driving home from a holiday in Norfolk. The car estimated mileage was 150 and my planned mileage was 120. I was set on Eco mode and B drive. All was going well until. I got to about 25% battery. Then suddenly the estimated remaining miles rapidly reduced. After driving 90 miles, battery had fallen away to 7% with 15 miles estimated remaining and I had to find a rapid charger to complete my journey. What on earth is going on. What use is a mileage estimate if it is SO, SO inaccurate that it simply can't be relied upon?!*

Many thanks. So what settings have you on the car for battery management? It seems like the Elroq automatically will only charge to 80%! Also, is a log of charging levels recorded and can Skoda check this if you make a warranty claim?

… silly me! Of course I meant… … estimated mileage is significantly MORE than the mileage I can achieve.

Hi all. Two weeks ago I took delivery of my Elroq Edition 60 with Plus Pack. After several years with a Karoq. I find that the estimated mileage is significantly less than the mileage I achieve. I’ve read up about driving style and watch the Mi/kWH figure. After switching to ECO mode and using D on motorways and A in town, I’ve achieved between 3.4-3.8 Mi/kWh figure. This, plus only charging to 80% (circa 190 mile estimate) means I am suffering charging anxiety, constantly concerned to find a quick charge to complete my journey, then having to find something to do to fill the time while charging. Then there is the cost of using public chargers. My strategy was to use home charging predominantly, giving the near spec of 260 miles range with occasional top up from a public charger. It’s all rather disappointing. Any tips, views or ideas would be very welcome please.

Hi there. I have exactly the same issue. I picked up my lovely new KAROQ yesterday and the dealer had forgotten about the Traffic Sign Recognition, which is extremely annoying as I had this on my KAMIQ and found it really good for not exceeding the speed limit. Did you find a way to get this retro fitted on your Karoq? Please advise?
