My charging experience

Most trips are within the range of the car so charging on the road is not common. Most on the road charging has been for the experience and not need. When I actually have needed to, I did get ‘range anxiety’ which isn’t surprising for me.

When I charge on the road its usually pretty easy. Plug in, get coffee, unplug, go.

My most recent frustrating experience. I booked a hotel with a charger so I could just charge and come back home. They had two chargers, one worked, the other was in use. I fought with the broken one for a long time only to give up and go find a rapid charger. I spent about an hour total getting the car ready for the return trip.

Is Standard Range Enough?

The longer range NCM batteries have been meeting or exceeding expectations so I can’t say they are bad choices. For me, a worrier, I like the LFP battery and its longer expected life, more stable chemistry. I look forward to advances in battery tech and longer range in my next vehicle but this one has enough for me.

Warm weather driving 10C and up.


Gues-O-Meter regularly showed ranges around 250 miles. Driving under most circumstances I could get this range. Hot days didn’t seem to effect range much, if at all.

Cool weather driving, temps around 0C


Gues-O-Meter regularly showing ranges from 200 to 210. I suspect I would get this range if I were to drive the entire 200 miles at once but with warming up and shorter trips I suspect 200 would be pushing it.

Cold weather

I will update this as I go through winter but what I can say now is.. The worst I saw when I purchased the car in March was 180 on the GOM. I have not seen any extreme cold with this car yet.

Worst Ever GOM range

I’m expecting 140 to 150 based on some research when temps hit -20C. I just have not been through the coldest parts of the winter yet. Will update this later.
