253 miles of range. Actual use was 142 miles with 68 miles indicated remaining. Assuming an accuracy of 66% or there abouts, say 45 miles. Total actual range from indicated 253 is 187 miles. Conversely, 31% left after driving 142 miles would give 205 miles total range,( 142/69 x 100). Obviously different conditions apply for each charge up but will be interesting to find out what the average is going to be. Real world figures are way more important than ‘indicated range’.
with so much electonic on these things you probably would do good to shut off some monitoring functions or fans. crazy how much some of these things use.....10A for just a heater blower ...ua-cam.com/video/wykdjYne9-o/v-deo.html 2miles/kWhr is really abysmal.
I don’t own a VW EV but have a Peugeot e208 and the ‘fuel gauge’ or ‘Guessometer’ as I like to call it is just as bad. I’ve left on a journey where it says over 200 miles range, driven 120 miles and it’s telling me to stop and charge urgently as have less than 20 miles left! Turns out the estimating is completely rubbish and I now just look at the % left. Mine is doing 3.4 in the winter so you’re right about the buzz being inefficient.
Great vid - highlights the impact the cold has on range. Proposed subject for future vid - wear n tear of seats; I noticed your white seats and was wondering will they stay that way or have you done anything to protect them with something like Gtechniq seat clean/protect sprays?
@@RealBuzzLife I look forward to the update. Another question - you had any rear seat passengers yet and, if so, have they raised points about no middle armrest, lack of centre vents (may not be needed) and inability to open their door windows as they are fixed - are these missing items/functions a problem?
According to the EV database, at 70 mph constant in cold conditions ( colder than 6 or 7 c), it's range is 145 miles. Now take off 15 miles to save for the oversubscribed and unreliable infrastructure, just in case of problems to get to another charger and the range is 130 miles. Now add the most efficient way to charge it on a repeating long run, is to charge it to 80 %, now the working range is 101 miles ? All for £60K. Looks nice though.
I've got a Cupra Born that is also on the MEB platform. The app does the same thing. I don't trust the app when it comes to range. This is why that guy who headed up the software bit of VAG has been fired. The tech on MEB platform cars has proven to be unreliable.
Thanks for the video 👍 Did you find an easy way to reset the trip meter? I always used to reset it easily on the e-Nero from the steering wheel, but haven’t noticed anywhere easy in the Buzz… yet😇
70 odd grand for that is absolute madness, I mean the buzz is kind of cool, and I do like it, but in no way is it worth 70 grand, for that money all I see is plastic fantastic really, I mean there isn't really any hint of it being that kind of money, and it only seats 5 people, OK the boot space is great, but no I just don't see myself sending that kind of money on this van, simply because I feel it just ain't worth it, 50-55, maybe 60 at a push but no not 70 grand, no way,
You had a Leaf, I had a Leaf. You had an eNiro, I have an eNiro. I’d better start saving…
Thanks for the metric conversion at the end!

Yes, looking at mi/kWh is probably the better way to judge what range you have.

That behavior with range on the app and range when you actually start the EV is very similar to what I've always seen with my ID.4
Nice wagon Jen,electric still very much in its infancy stage,can only get better.
210 miles instead of 253. Pretty poor range for a 72k vehicle

I paid the dealer to put a upholstery protecter on it, but I’ll let you know how that goes.

A fair show would be 100-10% and with people in
looks like 210 real world miles for 82Kwh....will be better in the summer
Any updates on as to range improvements? If any.

Looks nice though.
It was actually £72k!
The vw apps all do this crazy range error. The Škoda one does it all the time.

I haven’t tried yet, I just use the options of since start or since always.
You’ve been conned I’m afraid, fully loaded in winter it will be less than 150, nice looking van and interesting vlog
VW run the car equivalent of MS DOS while others are running Windows 11. 😂
Couldn’t agree more. Been waiting for a fix within WeCharge since early September.

Totally agree. A stripped down version would stir more interest and probably deliver greater range.
those doors remind me of cheap ford aerostar.
Tbh is it really worth anywhere near £50k??
@@20yearsagotoday1 for that money your can buy two of these--> ua-cam.com/video/wJnRCm-Uml4/v-deo.html
The app is terrible, go by the car
Way too expensive!!!
Never believe the app, same across the whole of the Vw group cars. Total rubbish
