Today I took the SR+ to stoke on trent and back. On the way up the car started out saying I’d arrived with 5%, but slowly that increased to about 15%. I stopped at Warwick services anyway for a coffee, plugged in and was maybe 15 minutes getting a coffee and drinking it. That was enough to add around 25% to the charge and I arrived with 40%.
On the return leg we hadn’t had lunch yet so dropped into Trentham Gardens which was really nice. My daughter spent some time in a soft toy shop looking for presents, and we had a fairly brief lunch at Pieminister. Service was quick and we didn’t take long but I still got a notification from the car that it was nearly finishing charging (I still hadn’t changed from 100% from the morning). When we unplugged we were at 98% surprisingly and I didn’t have to stop again until I got home a little while ago
This is the third long trip where I’ve needed to charge, but I’ve tried to always base it on my needs first - eg I need a coffee in the morning or a stop for lunch, and while I’ll try and time that to somewhere with a supercharger for convenience, thats the only consideration I make. And so far I’ve never been kept waiting - its always me thats the bottleneck, not the car. I’m not even waiting for charge to be low - today both top ups were with my battery at 40% and around 70% so not efficient curve-wise.
Anyone else found similar? or is this just a run of good luck for me?
