That's me!

Forty, you say you stated with 100% charge, can I ask what mileage the guess omitted was saying?

If I remember correctly, 280 ish to start with but it dropped quite rapidly for the first few miles, as I had a couple of in-town visits before I got onto the motorway (A3 to be precise). Then the mileage range increased and I recall I was travelling 3 or 4 actual miles for every drop in range mileage for quite a while - clearly I was driving more efficiently than I had been the previous day, hence the mileage range increased even whilst driving.

if you see a black Enyaq flashing, that’ll be me

Well I don’t think I’m going to get near that as I’ve just this minute charged my iv80 to 100% and I’ve only got 254miles guesstimate, and a recent trip from bidford on Avon to Lincoln a 208 mile round trip from 100% I only just made it home with 2 mile spare charge and that was the end of September and 18 deg, so you win this one

I don't often charge beyond 80% and have never charged to 100% and wonder if this is something I need to be doing more often for the longer journeys. Last night I arrived home with 6% battery charge left, so it was a little concerning.

If long term battery health is of interest to you, then I recommend trying to keep to 80% max charge whenever possible, saving the 100% charges only for long distance trips.

Why? I have seen enough battery State of Health (SoH) curves to see that regular charging to 100% ages your battery 3 times faster than charging to 80%. It's not a question of charge speed (the battery management system slows the charge rate once 80% full is reached anyway), it's about that last 20% of charge prematurely ageing the cells.

Having seen the SoH ageing curves for a number of different li ion cells, including NMC712 cathode cells similar to the LG Chem pouch cells that I think are fitted in our cars, we try to keep to these guidelines ourselves, only occasionally using the 90% or 100% charge for long trips.

If this link works, it will take you to the Pushevs.com website which has much more info on our valuable battery packs:

Hope this helps,

Well I’ve just charged my iv80 to 80% and mileage is 185

What's your average consumption (mi/kWh/)?

By the way, mine from new is 3.1
4 weeks old.

Whilst I generally have been driving as economically as possible - time permitting, there have also been quite a few occasions where I’ve driven at 70, accelerated ‘enthusiastically’ and my son always has the temperature on max. whenever he’s in the car - so not all my journeys have been as economical as some of those which I’ve reported back on this forum (because of these reasons); but I’m very happy with the ‘long term’ average, which equates to nearly 240 miles per full charge. 77 x 3.1 = 238.7
