Decided to take advantage of the lovely weather and give the new car a drive to Lavenham in Suffolk. According to the on-board computer, I could just about get there and back (104 miles each way) and should return with 12% still in the battery. The M25 was behaving and I made excellent time.Time enough to take my mother out to lunch at the local bistro. Sitting outside in the sunshine was wonderful and the prices were at Suffolk rather than Surrey levels. We had a delicious gazpacho, with a sea bream special to follow. And all through lunch, the car was charging off a 13amp plug in the garage, adding enough miles to make me confident about the return journey to Cobham.
Back for a cup of tea before starting the return journey. Again, all the traffic problems were in the opposite direction - until I reached my exit at junction 9, when everything looked dire again...I must say I was very impressed with the battery prediction software: on both journeys, it was correct to the percentage, despite the fact that I had the AC on. This will give me more confidence in running the battery nearer to the limit. Range Anxiety? Moi?
