Just wondering if I run the battery fully down to zero what happens. Ive always been too scared to run it down completely and always leave a mile or so.??
What is it best to do.
 
Hi,
To my knowledge 0% is around 20-30% real battery power...so you don't need to worry.
 
No need to worry. The car just switches to petrol and will still recharge the battery under when braking etc. so even with a battery showing empty it can sometimes switch to electric drive for short periods.
 
The battery will only drain to 70% in normal conditions (not towing, going up hills etc). It will recharge back to 30% and use series hybrid mode from there on in. You should use the charge button if you have hills etc later in the journey - but don't worry about completely draining the drive battery - the car will sort itself out.
