Enyaq iV Battery Range Variability

[Yakin]

Is anyone else experiencing variations in their Enyaq iV's battery range? Let's discuss factors affecting range and possible solutions to optimize and stabilize the electric range for long trips

Weather conditions, driving style and speed are the key factors.
One can’t change the weather but driving smoothly will maximise the range. Also ensure your tyre pressures are correct as the seasonal temperature changes.

Is there a way to display the actual tyres pressure, dynamically as it changes? I can't see a way to access it, it's one of those frustrating things...

[Powerstar]

The Enyaq doesn’t have actual tyre pressure sensors in the valves so no it can’t be displayed.
The Enyaq uses a simpler wheel speed sensor (from the ABS) to highlight if any wheel speed changes due to change in circumference compared to the other wheel on the same axle.

My experience since having mine at the beginning of this year, in the colder weather there is far more variability in range due mainly to the lower temperatures requiring battery heating which becomes more apparent / worse if you are only performing short journeys. The temperatures variations we are now seeing I can see on my own car are causing the range to drop and consumption to increase.

Range is very unreliable until you actually get on a long journey . I find rain has a big effect and of course wind . I played around with driver modes and turned AC off but didn’t seem much difference on my regular 100 mile trip . Cruise control makes it worse by slowing and speeding up

Also - it bears repeating that the dashboard only shows estimated range. It doesn't really mean anything unless you are driving in a steady unchanging way - for example, on cruise control on a motorway. If you're constantly accelerating and braking (eg city driving), or going up and down hills it won't be as accurate. It's there to give you an indication only, not a promise.

It's the same with petrol cars though. I once drove from York to the middle of Scotland on one tank of petrol in my old Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, taking about 5 hours. But on another occasion I got through a full tank of fuel in under an hour and under 100 miles on a track day...

From driving a Leaf, the tyre pressures could rise 2 to 3 lbs between cold and hot after a run.
