My previous record was 31, but just now came out to it fully charged and showing 36 miles EV range!
Interestingly, I was not driving like a hypermiler prior to this charge. I had been driving for 3 hours on the M4/M5, A38 and winding roads to get to deepest darkest Devon. Just for kicks, since the MPG of my last tank had been 83 due to a lot of EV driving, I thought I would this tank see how low I could get it as I am 4 up and full of luggage.
So started at the hotel in Newbury this morning with no charge and then hit Charge Mode when on the M4 and left it on until literally just before I got to my destination - was not light on the right foot. (Filled up just before I got to cottage, 28.9mpg for those interested)
Arrived with 22 miles range showing and roughly 80% SOC of course. Topped it off with the granny lead and when I just went to move and park it - found it shows 36miles.
It truly is a very weird algorithm behind that thing.
