Been away for the weekend in Berlin and landed home last night - at the same time the wife had been to her parents for the weekend and hadn't plugged it in and I didn't think to.
Got up this morning and ready to head to work and range showing 25 miles. Hitting ECO mode didn't increase it (normally does post update but guess its too small a figure to impact).
Work is 19 miles and there are 7kw chargers there - so thought I would head in.
It was a cold morning (4-6 dregrees) and after 4 miles the range and distance to go were now equal - so I decided to put the car into the low power mode to eek it out.
Got off the motorway with 4.5 miles to go to the office and now the range was showing 3 miles.
The last bit is mostly uphill and with 2 miles to go we hit zero.
Another mile later and the car then displayed a red warning symbol and stated car is going to shutdown find a safe place to stop!
I made the judgement that I could coast to the side if needed anywhere on the remaining route safely and pressed on - I assumed that JLR would give you a bit of 'room' to get off a major road etc.
Thankfully I was right and the car managed to get to work and it safely charged all day.
How far have people gone in a similar position?
