New Leon 1.5 ehybrid owner... doubts about the new battery

[rsrocha]

Picked up my new Leon 1.5 ehybrid with the new larger battery and my questions are:

- Real battery capacity
- Charging speed with CCS2 DC charger

The dealer claims 130km range and 50kwh DC charging. Battery charged to 80% shows 95km range and today when i went to a rapid charger it only showed 34kwh charging speed. Also, Electroverse shows this new model on their vehicle list and it claims 80km range and 40kwh charging speed. What is right and what is wrong?

Came from a Ford Mondeo mk5 with the 1.5tdci diesel. You can guess what are my thoughts after changing to a Leon...

Seat says the theoretical range is 82 miles in the car spec sheet so 130km is, in theory, possible - but you would have to drive it only in the laboratory they used to get anywhere near this.

Hybrids are only for tax purposes or daily commuting less than 30 miles each way, if that doesn't sound like you then your Mondeo was a better bet.

130km is WLTP most likely - actual range will be around 80km, this is still more than the 40km in the last gen Leon. Having moved from a mk5 Mondeo with a million issues to a Formentor 1.5 its less economical on fuel yes, but its saving me a fortune in parts
