Hi,
I am sure that Enog is highlighting this as part of his ongoing dislike of ev's , Cairns to Atherton about 80km ? Makes Enog's mate's anxiety seem a tad overblown.
However, it does pose interesting questions regarding range.
EV's certainly lose range when under increased load , the capacity to get a bit of energy back of limited use if you are on a journey with a big net up.

So , does anybody have a handle on what effect driving from sea level to , say 1000 metres of elevation ,
might have on range.
Now , I know that an ice would also have a decrease , but lets face it , overall , ices have greater range than evs, and at least for now , ''filling up'' a tad easier with an ice.

Another question , somewhat related .
Now , I want an EV , mainly because I am a post middle aged man who likes buying things , regardless how good or bad they might be for me.
I do have a once a fortnight 280km drive , with no realistic recharging along the way [ ok when I get there].
One way is often into a 30 to 40km wind , anybody have any experience in this scenario on the effect on range.
As well , tripping along at 110kmh , which I understand drops efficiency as well
The bottom of the line mg4 has a range of 350km , am I forced to go higher?
Is the next one up , 450km , enough?
Or , if I am going for an EV , just bite the bullet and go for the plug-in hybrid?
I want an MG4 because I think I will look cool in it.

cheers

not so my dopey friend the trip I speak of is from Tamworth to Coffs Harbour in NSW not sure where the Atherton thing crept in, Thats about 340 kms most of which is very windy and very hilly particularly the waterfall way from Armidale to Bellingen .Clean the shit out of your eyes and read again
