Estimated EV Range

[kabadi]

When I get in the car, it doesn't know how I am going to drive, so why does it show only 26 miles EV range when fully charged?

I would have thought it would have said 32 miles even if once I start driving it doesn't actually achieve that.

It makes an estimate based on your last journey, apparently.

Indeed - it makes a half-hearted attempt at learning your driving style - and still gets it wrong - ignore it!

I think the tiny font size used on the trip info screen says it all. Maybe in an update the INFO/TRIP/car battery display will only be kWh in the battery in a half decent font size.

based on the previous 100Km according to my dealer

I think the dealer is guessing on the 100km number. If the last portion of my fully petrol journey has a reasonably steep downhill stretch of over 5km, my PHEV will generally record up to 80km battery range, the next time it is fully recharged. The same effect has been noted on 3 seperate identical model PHEV's.
