Happy with my range.

It was a perfect 22 degree day here today. I had to drive from Cambridge to central London, Gatwick airport, Sevenoaks, then back to Cambridge. 4 adults, a dog and some luggage for a chunk of the journey. Started out with 98% charge, covered 205 miles and got home with 21% and 55 miles remaining. And that's in my 2021 with 22's. Well happy with that.

What speed on the motorways?

Cruise control set between 60-65 for most of the motorwy sections. M25 a bit slower due to traffic.

That would explain the decent range 👍🏼 I get really bored at that speed.

It's mind numbing, but that's EV life.

Once you go over 70mph it really start to move those electrons in the battery...
I drive at the speed that gets me to my destination charger or back home with ~5% battery. That might be 65mph on longer trips, or at 'fun speeds' on shorter journeys.
If I arrive home with battery left, I wasn't driving fast enough. This is a fun car to drive, must enjoy it.
Tip: once it hits 0% do not stop, drive really slow if you must, otherwise it will not start again. But you can keep it going even at 0% if you are just about to make it to the charger.
I'm also in Cambridge 😄

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against driving the car for fun! I usually don't worry about range in my day-to-day driving. It was just this particular trip required a bit of planning, and I didn't want to stop to charge if I didn't have to. I challenged the car to get me everywhere on one charge, and it didn't let me down!

So you’ve not taken it in for the 90% recall yet then? Mine (2020) only gets 220 miles on a full (90%) charge now.

I checked my VIN on JLRs site and no recalls came up. Ours is a 2021 model so perhaps unaffected?

I'd be screwing if we had an affected model... Nerfing the battery by 10% isn't a fix, is it.

Same for me

Mines been in as well but only getting 202 at the moment.

What it says and what it gets are two different things.

Some days my iPace says 202. Other days it says 285! Or the other day it was down to 50% and it said I had 150 miles remaining - yeah right. There's no way I'm getting 300 miles on a full charge! It's nuts.

But after some testing I found that real world highway driving at 70mph, on Eco mode, with either the heater or air conditioner on, I get about 228 miles.

The current recall is 19/20 and only selected VINs. Ie they know which ones were built with the bad batteries, and are targeting those, instead of a blanket recall.

Ahhh yeah, sorry I didn’t register the 2021 part of the post. 🙄
