Battery range on full charge

Featured Replies

Had the vrs iv for 4 weeks now, enjoying it immensely, 1st week full charge showed 36 miles but last week's full charge now is 32 miles. 

Before this car I had an ioniq phev which showed 36 to 40 miles on full charge with 9kw batteries. 

Would have thought 13kw batteries would give more range. 

It’ll depend how you drive it previously as to what estimate it gives you on the next charge. 
 

also the temperature has a massive influence on it, and whether you’ve scheduled a charge with a “leaving time” (i think it pre heats the battery). 
 

also the battery only has around 10/11 kwhr useable, as the rest is kept in reserve for when it’s showing 0%. 
 

on a hot sunny day, straight after a charge I saw 41 miles predicted on mine, in the middle of a cold winter it might be 25. 
 

i think the longest single electric journey I’ve done was 35 miles, with 50% of that on the motorway. With a tail wind. 
 

i found the air con doesn’t kill the range that much, but if you need to heat the cabin up, it drains it really quick.

Thank you for the information. 

When you say depends how you drive it, do you mean distance and speed. 

I charge currently using the granny plug and have no times or heaters set etc. 

 

Distance / Speed / Ambient Temperature, air and road surface / Load in the car / Tyre pressures.

 

The range will drop as the weather gets colder.

yeah, just how naturally economical you are, and the sorts of roads you have near you. 
 

i live in quite a hilly rural area, so probably don’t do as well as someone in a city or something for example. 
 

I’d say you should get a fairly consistent 25 to 30 out of it.
