1 year agoWas it uphill? Did you have regen breaking set to its highest setting or even one pedal driving mode enabled? Were you running the heater? Was it in eco mode? I find my MG4’s displayed range is only accurate when I’ve got all the possible energy saving options turned on and the AC/heater turned off. And also when I drive it sensibly. I chose the MG4 because I have a lead foot and it’s really fun in sports mode. This means the 350km range of my MG is closer to 280-300, which is fine so long as I’m mindful not to trust the stated range when I’m down to 10-20% SOC.
Then why does it still cost $20K to install a 14kWh Tesla Powerwall? I’m actually more excited about the prospect of home batteries becoming more affordable. I think the cars are already there, out at least closer enough to ICE cars when it comes to affordability. The problem is they’re only making big expensive EV’s. The Chinese have shown they don’t have to be.
