While our primary use case for the EV is local runs with home charging, the Windsor seems like a pretty good option for long distances as well with some planning.
BHPian zero recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Our Windsor (Essence variant in Turquoise Green) arrived on Christmas day – sooner than what we had anticipated. This meant we had a choice of cars for our planned road trip to the Western Ghats – my time tested confidante Skoda Yeti, or the new electric kid in town. Driving the Windsor over four days and 850+ kms on expressways, ghat roads and everything in between, here are my impressions :
1. With some essential route planning, charging infrastructure was not a problem on this route – we charged the car at Zeon Mysore, Rebolt in Kukke and Zeon again in Shantigrama – all en route and during our breakfast/lunch breaks.
2. We figured coasting is better than regen on highway runs – so Normal mode with Normal regen combo worked great for effortless driving.
3. The Windsor affords spirited driving, and the instant acceleration is quite addictive. Its silent performance however makes the driver involvement more “Forza” like – very different from the joy of driving my Skoda Yeti. (I guess old habits die hard!)
