E300e electrical range
Hello,
I’ve my E300e T-model for two weeks now, so I don’t have much experience.
My question is that what is the expected range in pure electrical mode?
I drive daily 100km and it was also a reason to buy this car to solve this distance without petrol.
But the maximum range is about 65-70km which is far away from the 100…
I have to admit that it is also cold here nowadays, so about -2 to 5 C degrees.
But still it’s normal such a different range from the data in the specification?
thanks to share your experiences with me!

So if the advertised range is 100 km, then expect between 70 km and 80 km when temps get cold.
I would conclude what you are experiencing is normal.
If you google "EV range in cold weather" you will find thousands of articles and/or posts documenting range loss in cold weather. Range loss in cold weather is a known fact. Surprised you did not consider this when you purchased your 300e.
On the other hand, here in the states, we do not even get the 300e - so consider your self lucky!

Hi,
if you're down in negative temperatures, it takes quite a bit out of the battery just to warm up the car - I often start out in "B" mode until the cabin is warm, then switch to electric.
