Model Year 21/22 Formentor eHybrid Charging

[Alistair]

I was just curious to ask what is the actual "range" I should get when the car is fully charged?

Right now and since I got it when its fully charged its really only getting 20 miles range? Is that normal? Is it because of the weather and will it improve in the winter?

I see loads of videos of people saying they're getting 30ish miles when fully charged so was a little concerned.

Formentor Hybrid VZ1

I'm basing my reply on a 2024 Renault Captur PHEV I sold recently. Its claimed EV mileage was 32 miles. In the summer I got up to a maximum of 36 miles of EV range and in the winter it went right down to 22 miles maximum. Temperature affects EV batteries massively.

I have a 2023 Cupra Leon Hybrid and have never seen it go above 25 miles range in any weather.

That has a bigger battery doesn't it though?

Yep, twice the battery of the pre-facelift hybrid: the facelift has a 19.7 kWh net capacity, while the predecessor has 10.4 kWh net.

have never seen it go above 25 miles range in any weather.

Well, the Leon should have a slightly better fuel economy than the Formentor, and the range I had with the pre-facelift Formentor was ranging from ~30 km in worst conditions (-5 to -15 Celsius) to 50-55 km in ideal conditions (spring, autumn - around 18-20 deg. Celsius). So it's quite strange you never saw more than 40 km range! Traffic conditions and driving style could also impact quite heavily the range...

I have the VZ2, 2023. In the depths of winter, I can only get 17 at best, in the 'hot' weather I can get 32. (Mpg)
