Westwardbound Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I am thinking about changing from an Outback to a Solterra. I am really interested in owner's thoughts and real life experience of the Solterra, ideally including range in colder weather. Many thanks.

Peg Leg Nick Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Just picked up a new SolTerra Touring Today! Looking for other UK owners for tips, advice etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peg Leg Nick Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 apparently Westward there are only 2 of us interested! I wanted to swap range and charging info. If any SolTerra owners read this please respond so we can all help each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Spiller Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Got one arriving in 3 weeks - will post results - coming from a Kia Soul EV which is very efficient so it will be interesting given that the Battery gross capacities and power outputs are similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Spiller Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Picked it up today (Touring/Red) and like it - some hill work and max speeds up to 60 and today's consumption was 3.6-3.7 miles/kwh which I am quite happy with given that a lot of that was in normal mode - Battery was full from the dealer showing a max range of 269 miles with the heating set at 18.5 auto eco mode. As a comparison the Kia Soul I have run for the last 2.75 years is doing 4.3-4.4 miles/kwh after 38000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peg Leg Nick Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 That is just the sort of information I have been looking for! I picked mine up in November, was not happy with range at all 180 max reading in miles with 100% charge. Just left it hoping for response. Today 5th May temperature 19 c, solar panel charge, no cost! At 100% 201 miles it’s a joke, my wife’s MG4 trophy long range shows 289 miles at 100% smaller Battery, and only with discounts cost just £29,000. I could nearly buy two for the price of the SolTerra . comments, please, is there an upgrade to the electrics available yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwardbound Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Can’t answer your question I’m afraid as I didn’t pursue buying a Solterra. Not because of any issue with car, but rather the difficulties I would have charging at home (following some research the length and routing from my electricity supply to charger was extremely problematic). Is 201 miles your average on full charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
