I did a similar trip in our EV yesterday, perfect for the first half hour, then the car decided, I assume because of the high temperatures and high demand on the batteries (65 mph) that it needed to focus on maintaining a reasonable battery temperature and switched off the cabin aircon. Cue sweltering conditions and open windows.
We played a game, there were countless EV’s with windows open, could this be a weakness in the design and operation of EV’s? Certainly I think we would have been better off in the Plus Six yesterday!
We were out in our Volvo PHEV on Wednesday with aircon on. The range shortened significantly due to the aircon working overtime. Fortunately with a PHEV I have the ICE available
