​Range

When looking at EVs, you’ll see the term WLTP Range. WLTP stands for Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure and is a globally recognised method of assessing the range of EVs. It’s designed to give a reliable and transparent estimate of the range of an EV. But, it is still derived via a test cycle, so real world ranges can be lower in some cases.

Various factors affect the range of an EV:

Outside temperature. Cold weather reduces the range

Driving style

Vehicle load

Use of air con and heating

Use of features such as stereo, heated seats, heated rear windows

That said, the average UK commute is 20 miles, so even if the range is reduced, most people will have more than enough for their day to day use.

Battery

We know that the range of the battery can vary due to external factors, but there are things you can do to optimise the range:

Heated seats use less energy than the cabin heater

Accelerate and brake gradually

Pre-cool or pre-warm your car while it’s plugged in using the OMODA app

You can maximise the life of the battery by only charging to 80% on most occasions. Obviously you can still charge to 100% if you know you’ll need the full range.

For peace of mind, we have a class-leading an eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty, providing coverage against material or manufacturing defects. This means we will repair or replace any such defects free of charge within the eight-year warranty period, to return the battery capacity to at least 70% of the original capacity.
