After hitting the 'dashed line' meaning no range left, I flipped to % and found I had 2% left in the battery.
I continued to drive, at 30 and 40 miles an hour till I finally found 0% on the Battery and --------- on the range readouts.
I was still doing 30 miles an hour.
Not wanting to have to push it I headed for the barn and arrived with 0% and --------- after about 8 miles of driving.
Parked it, let it sit about half an hour, checked again and I found 2% in the Battery with still -------range.
Turned him back on, turned on the headlights, as it was now after dark and went for another drive.
After about 3 miles and 0% and -------- readouts I decided to head home again for the same reason as above.
This photo shows 0%, ------ range and I am doing 30 mph with the headlights on!
Finally, I never found absolute zero, I went fully ten miles beyond 0% and ------- range and still had enough to do 30 miles an hour. Performance definitely slacked off the nearer I got to 0% but I was still able to travel at legal speeds and stay out of the way.
I parked COOPER E, plugged him in and today I'm off again with a full tank!
Love this car!
Bye for now!
I've done the same thing and had the same result. I'm curious just how far can the car go once the range and charge % read 0. I have probably driven 6 or 7 miles under these conditions at low speed 30-35mph and still had power to spare. I want to push it and see how far it will go but I don't want to be the one that has to get towed home. I have a long driveway (300+ feet) and it's uphill, so I'm arfaid it wont make it up if I depleat the battery too much. It is good to know that we can go for a few a miles after the gauge reads 0 though.
