330e: Max speed at electric only?

Hi

I read that Max speed at electric mode is 140km/h. But today, at a highway early morning, no traffic, I tested it at 145-146km/k and it still run at electric only. It was NOT downhill and it didn’t turn on the ICE. I was like that for 2-3kms (until some cars appeared). Any idea about real max speed?

I was not even at full battery charge, 40% or so when I did the test

Funny you should mention this I managed to exceed the stated top speed today and wondered myself what the actual max is in a 330e in electric

Actual speed, or indicated speed? Allowing for tolerances probably normal.
