If you want to test your battery back in "layman way" please drive to charging station, charge the car up to 100%, put the car into "Full EV mode" (the button under Start button) and then choose "Eco Pro"-mode, reset the trip o meter and drive until car will start petrol engine.

Please report to us the outside temperature, driving environment (city, suburbs, B-roads, rush hour etc) and your personal driving style.

With PRE-LCI -model (2014-2017):

-IF the EV-battery is OK the car should, I mean should have range of at least 15-20km (10-13 miles) in UK's spring weather of ... 8-10 C? And with moderate driving, not "race starts"

-IF the EV-batteries are in top nick, under perfect circumstances and with driver with experience of hybrid drive drain etc. Then the achievable real world range may be up 30 km / 18 miles. But to achieve this out of your i8 you basically need flowing country or "B-roads" with 60-80km/h speed limits and energy efficient driving style, no traffic lights, no roundabouts.

With LCI -model (2018-2020):

-With bigger battery pack (11,2kWh versus 7,1kWh) and more powerful EV-motor i8 is able to achieve over 50km range with one charge. Yet again, its depends very much with speed, driving environment, driving style, weather etc.
