Re: Battery Degradation - 58kwh

Certainly not with range estimates.

You measure how much it's degraded, you measure the capacity, by checking how many KWs you could charge from xx% to 100% when new, compared to current, using more accurate OBD info.

Re: Charging speed? Why is it so slow?

Leaving home with 100%, and never going below 20%, giving a range of around 138 miles per, I would say 2x charges would have been enough, why start charging at such high %? You may as well charge higher than 80% to then skip a charge completely saving time.

Re: Who’s happy with their Born ?

Getting an EV can be for many reasons. For me it was the way it drives, smooth, silent, great in town and a great cruiser too. Large on the inside and not massive external dimensions so fits in the garage with space for bikes etc, garage isn’t caked in black diesel soot either. Left home this mornin...

Re: Charging speed? Why is it so slow?

From your info, I'm really not sure what charging power you got? Charging power is in Kw, battery size in KWh. Did you charge 4x for a 190 mile trip or for 380m in total, with what average and peak charging power? First you need to know what Cupra guarantees, the battery has a stated max charge powe...

Re: Strange noise when driving

Hi I changed to summer wheels last week, and the noise returned. Not as bad as when the tyres were new, but it's still there. Normal town and A road driving is mostly fine, I only here is on slightly rougher road surfaces (rough as in not billiard table smooth), actually the worst is the Autobahn, b...

Which kumho tyres did you fit?
Makes no difference.

Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

I’m assuming people know how to compare one consumption to another, but sometimes this forum is full of surprises.

Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

I suspect the software update has cleared all your driving algorithms and the car has to learn your driving style again before the guessometer becomes more accurate for range. My V2 has now done 4000 miles and shows very different range now than when I first drove it, even taking into account the w...

Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

What was your consumption before, what is it now?
