2024 E-Hybrid battery range
I purchased a 2024 E-Hybrid about a month ago in the UK, one of my friends also purchased an E-Hybrid. His car shows 52 miles range when fully charge on the screen and on the app, however my car mostly only shows 38-42 miles range when fully charged. I spoke to the dealership and they say its not an issue as there are so many factors involved, temperature driving habits etc etc. However we both live in similar climate and while I am not too worried about this discrepancy - is there a better explanation! also what milage are your cars showing with fully charged battery.
Thanks

this topic comes up a lot - for PHEV's and EV's the range estimate is based on recent past driving history consumption number - and shoudl be mostly ignored - it is what it is and there is nothing wrong - it's just that your past driving and recorded consumption means that if you drive the same way in the future that your range for the battery will what they are showing - if you drive differently it will be different
the car is not predicting the future - it's predicting what will happen based on how you've driven historically…it's easily mislead and often wrong. More or less range is in your future all depending on conditions.
my 911 GT3 at the end of a track day will predict I can drive 75 miles with a full tank of gas - hint: it's wrong - for normal driving I can get 350 miles from a full tank - but it doesn't know that because all it's seen for the past two tanks of gas is consumption levels based on track driving - so 75 miles is a reasonable estimate based on recent past data…
all this stuff should not be relied upon - it's SWAG's (Scientific Wild *** Guess) - your battery is most likely fine and you're just a little heavier on your acceleration than your friend.

I just had a demo of an ehybrid and when I got in the demo said 38 miles battery range and by the time I driven a mile the battery range had increased to 42 miles as I wanted to have a chilled run with it to see how smooth it could be over my RRS.
