    It is quoted that by just leaving vehicle outside for 16hours, the car's battery lost 10% of charge. Then by warming up the cabin interior, the vehicle drops another 2-3% of charge. Then it shows that the car was driven for 150km and had an indication of another 131km left. So all up at best 281km on a full charge - then recharge. AIMO
