Looks great. Unless you are going to a ULEZ zone, I would just leave in Hybrid (otherwise MPG will suffer). There is always a little bit of ‘juice’ left.

 

I'll be getting a PHEV soon and I appreciate your advice.

I see that JLR endorse the Andersen wall chargers. They are couple of quid more expensive than other brands. Is it worth it?
I realise that charge ratings are nominally the same but do some 'talk' to RangeRovers better than others?
And, longer term, whilst I appreciate that nothing is forever are there some brands more established than others?
Most, I assume, are Chinese?

(My electric Garage Door people disappeared after 12 months so the "10 year" warranty wasn't worth a jot! )

 

My car is identical Bronco. Nice choice.
Regarding charging, I have a Tesla charger in my garage from my Model S days. I rerely use this as an overnight 13Amp slow charge does the trick, always fully charged for the following morning and is kinder to the batteries.

After 2.5 years of ownership I think I have crafted the EV/Hybrid/Save selections. Obviously EV for local, Hybrid for interim, but if on a motorway at near constant speed I use Save and get some useful free charge for my destination.

 

I'm a novice at this Fenton, so my advice counts for nothing. I bought a cheapie (Vorsprung Nano) but it seems to do the job - very small, very neat, very simple, and comes with a one-metre 6mm flex already connected for connection to the circuit, as well as the 5-metre tethered plug. And it is "smart" with its own app if you can get it to connect. That said, the Andersen looks very swish, and I see it comes with a concealed cable - a good idea if your charger is outdoors. Presumably the cable takes up some room, so it may be worth checking the dimensions of the unit, and it may be necessary to uncoil the cable for the full length to prevent overheating - which might be inconvenient if your charger is right next to the car. But these are just questions, points to note, not criticisms.

 

That's a good point re cable length and uncoiling. Andersen offer 2 length options.
Time to get my tape-measure out.

Sometimes I see people having trouble with charging and setting charging times.
I've never known whether there is a vehicle incompatibility problem or if the user hasn't familiarised themselves with the charger or car.
(It seems that with any connectivity problems that many people automatically blame the JLR product ).

 

Had ours since March, I do ev for shower journeys hybrid the rest of the time. I have said on here before we average 50 mpg blended

 

What's a "shower journey" RichMoff?
That is a really good result. I noticed Harry (Harry's Garage) got some good figures for shorter journeys in his FF RR.

 

Ha it’s a spell corrected shorter journey!

 

Haha, I guessed so. Excellent... sadly it doesn't proof read
(I've done some real howlers so I'm not judging!)

I've just finished a survey with Microsoft about AI and Copilot.
I see it in action at work with the youngsters. I'm not optimistic.
And I live in the Countryside where AI = Artificial Insemination.

 

A strange experience today. I had a short, 2-mile journey, with 65% battery charge, and expected the car to drive exclusively or mainly on battery, but it didn't. The petrol engine kicked in almost immediately and stayed on. So for the return trip, I selected EV, but it still ran on petrol all the way home. Probably nothing, but it seemed a bit odd for the car to prefer petrol for a short, gentle journey.
