I placed my order for NX450h+ mid March in Sweden after two short test drive, each roughly 30 mins. It’s already been a month now and I told sales that I miss the car so much 😄. He was so nice and arranged a 1.5 hours test drive for me, just to let me enjoy the car and gain some more patience 😁
The route I planned was exactly 80 km with combination of highway(90-110km/h), country road(50-70) and city road(<40), having the hope that the car can manage it with EV mode. I was too optimistic and in the end it managed a little more than 70km then switched to HV mode. The google route for reference

temperature 5-7 celsius , cloudy.
The car was fully charged when I took over and dashboard shows 60km EV range.
AC in auto mode
After the highway (from starting point to B in google route) , EV indicates 28km left . Mostly cruise 100km / h
Then country road plus a short city road ( google route B-C-D) and speed was mostly 50-60 and the last few km was 30 with a couple of stop before red lights.
The last few km was in HV mode.
Conclusion: as my home is about 40 km away from work place with mix of highway and country road , the car will probably be able to do a round trip in EV mode in summer before next charge.
And finally, how can I get the patience for 1 year waiting time…
