Sport Mode & AC on Range Issue.

[0GASLOL]

I recently saw a drop in my overall range of 10 miles and when I turn on Sport Mode the range does not change. Like wise, when I turn on the AC on ECO High only 1 mile is subtracted from my range. Is something wrong with my system?

Are you actually experiencing that range?

The GOM, or guess-o-meter, is just that. Tony's told him he coiuld go 205 miles, but obviously that ain't happening unless he can go downhill 200 miles into Mexico. Do some actual range tests if you are concerned.

Standard charge will give me 90 miles range estimate, compared to the 100 I used to get. But I'm driving 110 miles per charge, so I know its not the battery. The car used to drop 10 miles range when I would turn on AC High, now its only 1. Not sure if its something to worry about or leave it. Car runs great, and I love the range and power compared to my FFE. Thanks.

I think you are good. Sometimes my range drops by 6 or 8 miles with Eco High with a full charge and as I get to the bottom of the charge the range will drop by 1 or 2 miles when turning on Eco High. It's how the computer looks at things including your past driving habits. Depending on past driving my standard charge will give me 100 to 115 miles. It's a guess.

I was going to bring up the ECO HI AC use, as during all my test driving when on high sometimes it barely touched the range. I guess it would probably be based on what temperature you have it set at compared to outer air and battery temperature.

Although until I get the car I could be wrong.
