hi folks,
i have to report strange behavior of my 2.0 signature (185 kW version). cold weather seems to limit power although the battery is warm.
yesterday it was 8 °C/47 F outside and i started with a rather cold battery also around this temperature. of course the car deliveres only limited power - 100 kW - then as expected. after an hour the battery was cosy warm at 20 °C/70 F and even warmer later (75 F) but i could not suck more than ~ 120 kW. what might be the reason? limiting the power makes no sense when the battery is warm, even at freezing outside temperatures!
i have observed this behavior several times. the car doesn't behave this way when it's warm outside or - as i remember - immediately after charging. any idea?
thanks!
Holger
