You are not taking into account what has just happened in the video, he has just used the air conditioning to cool the car down while its not plugged in - which will immediately have an impact on the estimated range. If you have an electric car you will know as i do that your range estimate reacts in real time to what you are doing, so - air con on it will drop 30miles for example, turn the air con off again it will go back up 30 miles etc. We have an ioniq 5 with the same kinds of features, they are best used when the car is plugged in ofcourse so you are not using any of your charge or impacting the estimated range. But we cant really take this estimated range as a realistic figure in this case knowing what he is doing with the car. In our car its very easy to drop below 3 mil/kwh if you drive like an idiot, our car is 320bhp, 600nm and 0-60 in 4.7, the Ipace is very similar performance but with a little bit more power still so yeh drive like an idiot it may well see 2.5 mil/kwh, especially using air con. On the other hand its also quite easy to achieve above 4 mil/kwh, eco mode and not driving like a fool will get most electric cars there, even higher performance ones.
@@jinx20001 I agree, the range will plummet with air-con on but surely not by 80 miles. Based on car’s prediction, Rory will only get 209 miles on a sunny day, somewhat disappointing where the official range is 292miles. I also have an electric car so range predictions are not that alien to me. On my ID.3 I will loose up to 30-40 in a winter on heating but my air-con only takes max 8-10 off on the hottest day.
It really depends on the charging method, on AC which is what everyone has at home the ipace will charge up to 11kwh while an mg4 will charge at 6.6kwh, this is important because most home wall boxes deliver 7.5kwh so the ipace will charge faster at home while the mg4 will cap at 6.6kwh. I have a hyundai ioniq 5 and in comparison it makes both the mg4 and ipace look like they will age badly thanks to the hyundai being a 800v platform and the others 400v. ours can charge up to 11kwh off home and up to 233kwh DC. The sooner manufacturers move to 800v the better, problem is it is more expensive and more advanced so only the higher end cars are using it at the moment, porsche taycan, kia EV6, hyundai ioniq 5/6, lucid air... i dont even think tesla use 800v for the model 3 or Y but they use it for the cybertruck.
it does not take long, we have a hyundai ioniq 5 and pre warming it in the morning takes around 10-15 mins for it to be up to temp, i have not had to use the Air con to cool the interior as of yet but i imagine its much the same. In my experience EV's are like greenhouses, they hold onto heat or cool air really well. Many have thicker glass. It can be a negative though, if it rains or is cooler outside you must use the blowers because they steam up inside like nothing ive seen before.
