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.
