Starting range was down to 46 miles, presumably as a result of yesterday getting under 40 miles for a putative 11.4kWh, but that's alright, it's just an estimate.

Sunday 4th August - I love my Volt when it behaves
Today by some miracle my Volt decided to behave the way a Volt should behave.
Starting range was down to 46 miles, presumably as a result of yesterday getting under 40 miles for a putative 11.4kWh, but that's alright, it's just an estimate.
19 miles later and the estimate has gone down by 22 miles. However this picture was taken just after driving up a very steep hill (Uffington Castle), so that's to be expected and the view was good too.
Going back down the hill put several miles back on the range estimate so 28 miles from home and I still have 26 miles remaining when we reach Ian Fleming's grave (one of our more obscure local tourist attractions).
The journey home. Absolutely nothing remarkable happened to the range (except that it didn't disappear) and the switch to the engine was similarly uneventful.
Home, and it looks like I get to join the 50 mile club: 51.8 miles on a single charge using 10.7kWh battery, then 1.5 miles on internal combustion engine. Even more impressive given the drive up White Horse Hill in the middle.
