[BauDemo]

A friend of mine and I did a winter driving test to see which car would take us longer the Think City or the Nissan Leaf.
See the image for the results.

What do you think?

I haven't read the article, but if the Zebra Think has less than 20% left after 80 km it is either very steepy/hilly, or the right foot is too heavy on the accelerator? No problem driving mine with heater on 120 km down to zero ie approx 100 km to 20%.

In Sweden we have 110km/h speed limit on the motorways. In Norway it is 90km/h. Your Zebra Think is maybe running an older firmware...
Making conclusions about mine and my friends right foot without reading the article is a bit ... hm... can't find the word now... but thanks for the feedback...

Yes, you might definitely be right

I would bet for the Think in summer test. The 4kw heater is a battery killer...

real winner at the end?

"the Think runs with the newest firmware and hides 15% of the battery capacity which means that one could drive to 0% without any negative impact on the NaCl (Zebra) battery longevity."

Have anyone tried to run to %0 to see when the car stops. I have done 3-4km with "fuel" lamp flashing but didn't dare to continue. I would like to know the limit...
