Stage 1 remapping in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks differed sharply from its wider council area on driving to work in the 2021 Census: 26.9% of working residents in the built-up area drove, against 41.2% in the Sevenoaks council area and 45.1% for England and Wales. Census day fell in a lockdown, when commuting was lower than usual, yet 6.2% still travelled 30 km or more to work, above the England and Wales figure of 4.4%. If your car is not the daily commuter, Stage 1 remapping is judged on the trips it does make, such as a motorway run with a full boot or a caravan behind. The remap adjusts fuel, boost and timing in software, staying within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on.
