I also had a range of 400 km (240 miles) in summer. Now I have about 330 - 350 km in minus 10 -15 C at 100% . And the car delivers that. Trick is to make sure that the car has preheated both cabin and battery before you drive it. Set the charge timer to your departure time and preheat the cabin. Makes a huge, huge difference in range.
There is no doubt that this will be a challenge versus Telsa who have charging nailed BUT everything is better than when I started driving EVs 9 years ago. Going into London tonight I found a great charging are on the M1 near north London with 26 120kW chargers. Worked a dream but finding it was a challenge and nothing in Porsche app helped (using their planning tool). Switched to ZapMap but also poor as I could not find a way to filter it to 100+ chargers so it overwhelms you with too much choice, most of which were poor. The Porsche app identified a 3 bay MFG charger but cost was very high and I read online I could not use the Porsche card. Somehow the companies have to make it as straightforward as Tesla. Anyway, I found a good one and the journey worked out well in the end
I think the OP is in the UK so is spared what sounds like a nightmarish EA experience. However, he can still enjoy queuing for IONITY!
I think it will be fine and the accuracy of predicted mile was much better that the Tesla. If I had driven entirely to the speed limit it would have been spot on. Never found Ionity but did find a great 26 bay spot that is now in my favourites. Will build a network over time on my routes
Absolutely, I’ve found it almost seamless. I’m nearly at 40,000 miles now in just over 2 years and it, for me at least, just works. We’ve a 26 bay Gridserve 2 miles from us and an IONITY a little further away which are frustratingly of little use to me other than if the Ohme Home Pro decides to go on strike!
Is the Gridserve the one in Norwich? I was there last year and that was a fantastic stop. Good rest rooms, good shop and excellent coffee! Gridserve are a bit pricey but well worth it considering the whole overall experience. And there was a roof over the chargers as well if I remember correctly?
That’s the one! A very nice facility, just far too close to home to be of use to me. The IONITY chargers are on the other side of the city at Cringleford and are on a windswept Shell forecourt with no weather protection. Often fairly flaky too, to add insult to injury.
Today I'm showing 171 miles @ 85% and 3C, MY23 GTS ST 5K miles, 21" Spyders, normally (when its milder - say 10C - I'll get 185 @ 85%).
unless you drive pretty hard that seems pretty low. May be worth while to drain the battery to under 20% let it sit overnight and then charge it in the morning. It will rebalance the cells and show if there are any problems with your pack.
I don't drive hard and never used launch mode (had a 4S for 2.5 years and same story there). Cruise control on longer journeys (70mph).
I don’t know how many quick parts of your journey there are but the Turismo body has 20% more drag than a saloon which isn’t negligible particularly on motorways.
