As an 'outsider looking in'
The UK usually get models 6 to 9 months after Europe..
Any chance that issues were found early on and the Battery is being 'saved' by software keeping the extremes of charge unavailable.
Thinking to hassles my wife had with phone charging.. is there a difference in our Charging network..?
Most respondents are not long term forum posters..so may not remember all of the
'I can only get 32 litres in my 38 litre FIAT tank' threads.
I think that may be right, I made a similar comment above. Interesting that the UK models are about 85% of the European ones, as if Fiat have restricted the maximum charge. Tesla allows you to set your own limit and charge to 100% for the odd longer journey, but I don’t think you can with the Fiat, so it is much harder to protect the battery against constant full charging.
But, if they have done this, then the claim of 200+ miles is now completely false and they shouldn’t still be making it!
I’ll keep watching new review videos and see if the European ones start to show a reduced range at full charge… I would expect to see around 260km in ‘Range’ or ‘Sherpa’ modes, rather than the 320 or so I have seen on European reviews so far…
