Not a fan of all of that tracking, but as I’m doing a novated lease through work (so it comes out of my pre-taxed income) - I’m not sure I’ll have much leeway to figure out how to disable that.

We’re starting off with a level 1 charger, but as we’re in a 230V nation - we’re hoping that 12am - 6am charging (when our rates are ~8c/kWh) will suffice.

Good to know about the charging cable lock, and that does make sense - prevents jokers from randomly unplugging cars from chargers out in public. Can imagine having to explain that one to the missus a couple of times before it clicks though. 😅

It’ll be replacing our ‘16 Honda CR-V; we’re all pretty low-key excited - especially our 3yo.

How do you find the acceleration - any issues getting up to speed from 0 on freeway on-ramps?

We have the AWD version:

RWD: 282 hp, 413 lb-ft torque

4MOTION AWD: 335 hp, 413 lb-ft torque

AWD adds a front motor with 99 lb-ft of torque; the rear motor still produces 413 lb-ft.

0–100 km/h: about 6.4 sec for the AWD version.

So.. Ya it's pretty quick. No issues with the power st all.

Depending on how much you drive that window may be too small. You'll get like 1.4kWh of battery recovered per hour, which is roughly 5-8Km of range.
