@@craigdowling4884 no,there's no information in the vehicle that can tell you that,not sure if a compatible obd reader could either?

I've had the car for 2 and a half years and the little glitch never reappeared. The car has been faultless really and id definitely recommend getting the e-hybrid if you have home charging.We have and as such we only ever use petrol when on a long journey or if towing....the rest of the time we love driving in electric mode,firstly because it's so smooth and secondly because it's far cheaper than petrol.

I just hoovered my car it wasn’t l plugged in & I don’t have rhe departure aircon enabled & whatever is going on it sucked 6% of my available charge . I didn’t press the start button & it’s daylight so no lights either. Where did 768W of power disappear to?? Does anyone know this can’t be normal surely this would be using the 12v battery like any normal petrol car!!
