OTOH, as long as you aren't relying on that bottom 5% of your battery, none of this really matters... Over 7 years a couple of extra KWh are nice padding to help you stay out of the top and bottom 10%, but don't really make a difference day to day.
On my P-, unless I'm aiming for somewhere,
it just doesn't matter. If you are going less distance then you will make it any way. If you are going more you have to charge anyway. The situations it will matter for are really really marginal (unless your commute happens to be in that range, then I'm on your side!). If you are stopping for a charge, adding an extra 2% makes no real difference. If you are planning to go into the last 5% anyway, then that is going to be a pretty tense drive and once you have done it a couple of times you'll stop for a wee topup!
- with destination charging,
- that is between 270 and 300 miles away, and
- I pre-dehydrate myself to be able to do it without a stop,
Don't get me wrong - its all interesting - but it makes waaaay less difference than the heatpump. I really would welcome the more consistent performance through the cold weather
I totally agree. I’ll probably never even know what battery spec I have. It will be very interesting to see how the heat pump performs. So far it’s been great in terms of heating, but I have no idea on efficiency yet as only driving locally for food shop.
