Hello,

I've had my #1 for about 3 weeks. The range and battery seen to drop quite a lot when it's not being used.

I've had a few different EVs but never had this problem.

Just want to know if your #1 does this, can you tell me how much percent you lose over night and how many miles it looses?

Is this normal?

Thanks

I've had mine since the end of September and haven't experienced any loss of charge or range overnight. Perhaps your car isn't 'going to sleep' when it is left. I keep my key away from the car in a Faraday pouch. If the key is near the car, it remains powered up and ready to respond.

Thanks for your reply. I also keep my key in a Faraday pouch away from the car.

I think I'll have to take it into the smart garage to find out what's going on!

I have had my Brabus since December. I have never any issues with loosing range over night. (seems strange)
What i did notice was after a full charge the range would say 220mls. As soon as I drove say 5mls it would loose about 25/30miles
I would say now in the warmer months the range has settled down and am getting 230/240 on a 100% charge.
I would get it checked out & would go through with a message through the app as dealer do not seem interested.
