update on my commuter! Best car I've ever owned.

i say that it drains fast because i look at the car radio screen and go to the battery icon and as i drive i look at the % the battery is on and it goes down fast , idk if is that im not charging it fully ,

[@jonyrock]

Well it's only a 7kw battery, so it's range is short. I need to look and see if there's any cycles I could do to help the battery

[@Andrew-zz8yh]

What mode did you drive it in for all this time?

[@jonyrock]

@Andrew-zz8yh you mean ev vs hybrid? The car only does 15 miles electric so if you're going anywhere far you will use the gas engine. I do charge the car every time I go home. Hope that provides some insight

[@user67699]

how often do you charge ? and how long does it last ?

[@jonyrock]

Every day, i explained range near the end of the video

[@user67699]

Okay but the Plug in hybrid you don’t have to plug in ? is optional ?

[@user67699]

Also My friend just got one and he hasn’t charged it all the way but when he charged it halfway, it drained pretty fast , idk if is normal or we’re just over thinking , your only supposed to get 15 miles on it ? i’m sorry i’m confused , some people also said you don’t need to charge it as long as your riding gas as well
