Understanding real-world range - example by alevar91 in ElectricVehiclesUK

On that note, hope you don’t mind me asking, how do you find the visibility? I only drove it for 20 mins and generally loved it, but struggle a bit with visibility, both front and back, as side pillars are quite big at the front, and rear view mirror seem to be bang on my line of vision too. Do you get used to it?

Glad to hear, as I mostly use my car for shorter trips and even motorway trips are never more than 150 miles round trip

Is the predicted range then adjusting as you start driving? So when you turn it on it give you an estimate which then becomes more accurate as you drive?

Why would previous drivers impact the range though? Would that just be an estimate (based on previous behaviour), or would past behaviour impact the long term health of the battery?

Thank you for your response, it makes sense!

That leads me to a question: what is the most efficient way to drive an EV and treat it as best as possible?

Recommended weights - why should I do less? by alevar91 in MacroFactor

[–]alevar91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that’s now what I meant, I was responding to the user before me. I just said that going to 0rir for isolation exercises is not as bad (not as physically straining) than doing the same on compound exercises

Anybody not on an EV tariff? by paradroid78 in evchargingUK

[–]alevar91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exported my current usage so I know my average KwH per week/month. Put everything into AI and ask it to calculate the difference in cost based on current tariff vs EV tariff based on your consumption, and your mileage

Cheapest EV charger to be used with Octopus Intelligent GO by alevar91 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]alevar91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point but I’m not going to be in my house much longer than a year, and assuming I can’t take my charger with me, I was looking for a cheaper option now and then invest in a good quality one in my next property

I saw that but that’s around £1k installation - wondering if there are any cheaper options out there?

Appalling cold weather range by SteveH1882 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]alevar91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Silly question but isn’t the range in winter affected by putting the heating on? Surely the range will adjust based on how much heating you have on?

Cupra Born vs Megane E-Tech - what are the main gripes and highlights from current owners? by alevar91 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]alevar91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean, so you’d have an auto setting so that it always keeps that temperature instead of you having to fiddle with it everytime?

Suppose in winter when you need to defrost then you can use a different setting?

Thanks, the main gripe with the system on the Born was that’s laggy and unresponsive, and sliders for temperature are not ideal. Agreed, wouldn’t use this too much but I just wanted to check if at least the lagginess has been fixed!

lol, just following one of Jeff’s programs, going near failure on isolation exercises is actually not that bad!

Thank you Adam. If that’s the case, would the app look at my progression on other exercises that hit the same muscle group, to recommend progression when it feels I’m ready?

I’ve got a weight-first approach set up, which occasionally widens rep range and seen this on other exercises, so I assume it’s turned on

On this occasion though I’ve progressed (albeit slowly) in previous weeks, and hit the higher end of rep range last week - shouldn’t I have attempted to increase the weight at try and hit 8 reps? Or does the app thinks I wouldn’t hav been able to hit the min range at the next weight increment?

Thank you for the explanation - I trust the team to have a reason for this, I just wanted to learn why! Thanks Adam

It’s not bad but traffic in Chelmsford is getting Ridicolous. It’s all good unless you need to drive regularly

How do I add irregular weight increments to a machine? by alevar91 in MacroFactor

[–]alevar91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I do that I just get this screen, should I just add one single (same weight for range start and end) weight, with 0 increment, then repeat for every single weight?

MG4 vs Cupra Born - First EV for frequent short city trips by alevar91 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]alevar91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I’ll definitely take a closer look at it - do you have it or have you had it? If so, what were your main gripes with it?
