I’ve had the M50 for a month now. Considerable increase in range and battery retention when you spend 15-20 reducing all the unnecessary settings from factory. Eg, the windows dropping half way down when you open a door, the brightness of the HUD, reducing the ambient lighting and screen brightness in dark etc etc, I made lots of changes without sacrifice the enjoyment of the car and it’s a lot better now
Hi @simone3544! Apologies for the delay in responding back to you! So happy to hear that you’re enjoying your M50. I’m coming up on almost 18 months of ownership; I love getting behind the wheel of it today as I did on the first day I picked it up. Last year I saw the range improve with the warmer weather and in the winter range decrease - pretty normal behavior for an EV. I’ve done a couple couple of trips in it, and I definitely suffer from range anxiety; but honestly, that is less about the car, and more about challenges with the electrify America EV charging network
Hi there @chriskim-zb1sf, thanks for stopping by and good question! I used climate control the entire trip; set to a comfortable ~20degC temperature. I also used “eco pro” driving mode, which I think reduces cabin fan speed a little.
Based on my experience, the range with the heater or AC on is not terribly impacted when the driving mode is set to ECO (for very long drives) or Comfort (under 200 miles) and your speed it reasonable - going with the flow of traffic is generally good enough for battery range efficiency.
