This is a great looking and feature packed car but the battery and the estimated mileage is terrible. I am in the UK and have the IX40, fully loaded with 22 inch wheels. This battery is claimed to do 260 miles and during normal weather, when fully charged, it only states 195 - 200 miles and during the snow in London in mid December the batter would only charge to 175 miles. I pre-condition the car every morning and my daily drive to and thro from work would be 30 miles, so lets round up to 35 miles max. Theoretically this should last all 5 working days, but after 3 days I'm down to 20 predicted miles so have to plug in again. Where has my other 100 miles disappeared to ? I have just come out of BMW M850i and filling this up with petrol lasted 10 days.
I would never recommend this car for the battery life, its terrible. This car was sold on the amount of fuel you save and I feel I am paying more for electricity then I did for petrol.
Buyer beware....
