I took delivery of my NX450h+ at the beginning of Feb and finally got my Hive EV charger installed this week. Sadly it doesn't appear to be hugely reliable. I tried charging the car last night and the Matt-e device tripped every 20 minutes. I'll be speaking to British Gas but it's something for you to be aware of when you get your charger installed - make sure charge your car for at least 30 minutes before the engineers leave.

I've been on a couple of 300+ mile trips in my 450h+. The mpg displayed by the car reckoned I was getting 45-50mpg but having filled up after ~300 miles I think I'm only getting 35-40mpg. Another observation is the distance-to-empty is a bit more conservative than I've seen on other cars. It's reasonable when the tank is full but decreases exponentially as the fuel decreases. Coupled to this, the manual states the low fuel alert is displayed when remaining fuel is approximately 8.5 L, however I was only able to add 37L after the alert was displayed (so 18L remaining in the tank). I'll raise this with the dealer once I've waded through the manual to make sure I'm not being stupid.

Perfect, thank you so much!

I'll post when I know...currently it's sitting on my drive wrapped in cotton wool!

Interesting, I'll have to look harder, all I've been able to find are 350H manuals in every conceivable language.

Ordered my 450+ (Premium pack) 27th September and took delivery Sunday 6th Feb. First impressions are it's fantastic, mind you I was coming from a Discovery Sport so the bar was sadly not very high. The only minor gripe is there is no owner's manual, apparently they're all online now, and the online version is only for the 350, so no specific instructions for the EV functions. I've only driven it on a couple of journeys but it looks like I'm getting ~50 miles EV range in urban traffic and ~35 miles on motorways.
