Started this chat in another thread but better to start a new one. People finally seem to be receiving their new 38 kWh models. Mine is due January. Can we have some real life feedback around actual range and how the slower charging time works out in reality. Any information would be much appreciated.

Useful spreadsheet thank you.
In the Efficiency tab, I have entered formulae to convert from kWh/100km to fill in the 3 blank columns for the other efficiency measures, if that's OK. In italics to indicate converted from the original entry.

I received my car a few days ago. Have only driven around 20 miles so cant comment on real range just yet. However when I first charged to 100% it showed 177 miles. Then I topped it up again and it increased to 180 miles. Overnight temps have been below freezing.
One thing I found is that there is a winter setting which apparently improves performance but reduces range slightly, so 180 looks good to me. I'm going to run it down now to get a better idea of real range.

What kind of efficiency are you getting? Should me able to see it on cluster by toggling through the Menu (looks like a paper) button on the right-hand side of the steering
easy over that
yes you can run the fan without heat

Does anyone have an idea of battery degradation when not being used? If I charged the car fully on a Monday night but didn’t drive it until Saturday would the charge still be 100%?
Thanks!!

Welcome here! Can you add some details to your profile and signature?
Do you mean whether the 100% charge is leaking away? I did not notice any, but I never charge up to 100% and then leave it unused.
Degradation is the term generally used for the loss of maximal capacity over time; that happens when you leave the car fully charged for longer times, so better avoid that.

Thanks. I think I’ve updated my profile but let me know please! I don’t get my car until Feb but am just trying to understand some of the finer points. Why wouldn’t you charge to 100% and how would you stop that if you leave it plugged in overnight?

It's generally thought that always charging to 100% degrades degrades the battery over time. If you dont need the full range, it's a good idea to charge to around 80%. In the EV settings menu, theres an option to set the maximum charge level.

Thanks Geoff. Is this something you can control from the App? So, if you had a longer journey planned on a Saturday morning you might charge to 100% on the Friday night?

You've got it. Lithium ion batteries have an optimum state of charge between 20% to 80% and for everyday commuting that 60% is usually ok. They do not like to be completely drained, and the car won't let you. They also do not like to stand for long periods at 100% charge, although the cells need to be balanced once a month which requires a 100% charge. If you are charging to 100%, drive the car the next day just to drop it from 100%. Also try to avoid deep charge/recharge cycles if at all possible as these can also affect the degradation.
It depends on how long you are going to keep the car. If you swap your cars every few years then don't worry about the battery, it should last for over a decade or more. (Although the battery health may be checked if a seller pays for an inspection by the AA or RAC etc.)

Hopefully countries have a means to safely dispose/recycle lithium batteries in their whole form in the next few years because while we are helping to get rid of the fossil fuel, we are creating another issue.
Someone somewhere will make big dollar if they bring a lithium recycling plant to the UK.

The user manual seems to dispute that, even though it's not completely clear what they mean:

Yes you can charge it from the app even while it's charging.

Recycling of batteries is possible, but at the moment there are so few completely exhausted batteries around that it isn't economically feasible at the moment. Give it 10 years though when the first generation EV batteries have finally given up the ghost, and a new industry will spring up. Tesla are already in talks with another company to set up a recycling operation in the future.

Yes. Power Vault in the UK use Renault batteries when they can get them. I've had one with new batteries as they hadn't got any used ones. And when these are all spent, they can go for recycling.

Where exactly can you find that in the app? I once saw it, two months ago, but now it seems lost.
