So does the REX mean you can drive indefinitely? If it comes on does it limit speed or anything?
Nick
Only limit is petrol capacity of around 12lts, easily did 100+ miles between top-ups, speed not really limited, although if the battery is REALLY depleted with no re-gen it hasn't quite got the 'umph' acceleration you get used to
Thanks Jon for the info.
Somwhat was your real useable range in real use?
I've also heard that if you leave a fully charged one on your drive for five days or so, it has discharged anyway....did you experience anything like that?
Presumably, you don't have to leave it on charge all the time do you?
Nick
First one was the early 60kW and did perhaps 90 miles (on pure ev)
Second one 94kW, did 130 ? ish
It's very hilly where I live, and adversely effects range (oh and the acceleration is addictive)
The discharge thing is a naysayers myth ! even unused for 2 weeks, never lost capacity
I have a home charge point but the 'bosses' car blocks access, so I only topped up when it needed, then a FULL charge on a weekend, the bonus of leaving it plugged in is the app that allows you to pre-condition it so it's toasty warm & defrosted on icy mornings & it takes power off the charger for this so you jump in at full capacity / miles
