situation of work being only say ten miles, coupled with occasional power loss at 35% and a couple of times i have had down to 55% and the ecu lights up, so often have not wanted to risk not getting home so have been operating a very 'opportunist' charging routine. since then i have managed to run down to 0% and now only seem to have this problem of not charging fully and i would say that a charge to 97% would have a 28% reducing effect on range. as i mentioned though i do believe a maint charge is overdue and i shall do this asap.
am currently a bit more concerned in the long term about this lurching or hesitating of the motor at higher speeds which disapears when i slighty reduce acceleration and so far it continues to go up to about 60 mph only to reappear the next time i go up through say 42-53mph or thereabouts.
any ideas ?
4th of July eh i have to see as lots on at mo more than e'er before. but thank you i certainly hope to .
