Best Winter Advice

One thing I hadn't considered was how much wet roads affect the range. It was VERY wet but 11c when I set off for a 74 mile dual carriageway only journey earlier this week. Range at setting off was 210 with battery at 100%. Arrived 74 miles later to a battery at 51% and estimated range of 94 miles. Average speed 61mph for the journey.

I guess it depends who's paying for the charge too... here's a really extreme example of what I mean with the same hardware on the ID4:

I get the theory, but I bet he was unpopular driving like that!
