Experience reports

Explorer driver, 6,214 miles driven · October 2026

Bis jetzt bin ich sehr zufrieden. Ich hatte ganz am Anfang eine Fehlermeldung, dass das 12 Volt System gestört ist, direkt danach kam die gleiche Meldung für das Hochvoltsystem. Bin dann ausgestiegen, habe das Auto abgeschlossen, 1Minute gewartet. Dann wieder rein und alles war gut. Seitdem nichts mehr gehabt. Was mich "stört", ist die fehlende Möglichkeit, gezielt einen bestimmten Anbieter von Ladesäulen in das Navi einzupflegen, in meinem konkreten Fall EnBw. Oder ich habe es einfach nicht gefunden. Und leider spiegelt bei starker Sonneneinstrahlung das Armaturenbrett sehr stark in der Frontscheibe. Ich bin einmal 350km im Eco-Modus gefahren, habe nicht wirklich eine nennenswerte Ersparnis (mindestens 50km mehr Reichweite) feststellen können, mache ich nicht mehr. Unter anderem auch deswegen, weil er nur bis 130km/h beschleunigt und darüber hinaus nur mit einem Kickdown geht. Das finde ich persönlich eher gefährlich.

WLTP = official manufacturer value (COMBINED). Real consumption is based on user data from EV Monitor. Consumption is influenced by many factors: speed, outside temperature, heating, air conditioning, seat heating and battery conditioning. Since statistics are weighted by kilometres driven, a single 200 km motorway trip in summer at 100 km/h has more influence on the average than ten short city trips.
