Range after charging.

[MikeyS]

After charging to 98% for the first time, I was irritated and slightly annoyed to see that the range only shows 298 miles. No where near the 400 miles that I was expecting.
can anyone tell me if this will improve with battery use. Or have we all been sold a lie?

1000 miles into ownership and I'm seeing the same range as you at full charge.

Admittedly my driving style could be described as "not hanging around", but even taking that into account, 400 would be significantly beyond ambitious IMO

I've driven the car for three months and drive enthusiastically occasionally, and my range is about 550 km at 100%, which is pretty much as expected. It isn't realistic to expect 400 miles (ca. 640 km), since that is the estimated WLTP range which is known to not coincide with real world range.

Usually, the car needs to be driven for a while, with the battery almost fully drained and then charged before it gives you the most accurate range estimate.

Something else to keep in mind is that the range you see in your app can sometimes differ from what the car actually shows while driving.

You will never see 400 miles or any WLTP quoted range. These are laboratory measures only and not real life.

I had an S on 22" the other weekend and with 15C ambient it registered 325 miles of range at 100%.

Consumption over 270 miles of non motorway driving 3.0+ miles / kWh.

Usual rules apply where range is dependent on: ambient temperature, weather, tyre and rim size, load, driving style, recuperation on / off / auto, heating and so on.

Thanks Moheisen. I know I won’t get the 400 miles when driving, but I expected it to show a higher value than it does after being charged.

So you wanted to be shown an over-inflated and unachievable range figure? Why?

I'd say the Porsche estimate is broadly realistic at least. Unlike other (I'm looking at you, Elon) brands!
