Yesterday I charged the Funky Cat up to 100% and had a predicted range of 132 miles, though as I started driving it went up to 133 miles. This was less than when I charged up at a similar 11 kW charger and reached a predicted range of 153 miles.
Obviously the predicted range is based on the energy consumption of the previous driving before you charged. Though, as a result it makes it challenging when planning to drive. I suspect the 133 was based on some motorway driving, whilst the 153 was based on trips which were mainly local and rural roads.
If I have a 153 mile range, but my next trip was motorway, I think I might need to think about planning the journey to ensure there was a potential charging location if I needed it.
These days charging stations are actually a lot easier to find compared to 2023 when I got the Funky Cat. For me, it’s not just about finding a charging station, but finding one that is relatively cheap. Paying 85p kW is extortion, whereas if I can find one for 57p or thereabouts, then I am saving money.
