Winter efficiency?

[ricky10]

What’s everyone’s efficiency atm?

The last 100 mile average was 3.0miles/kwh.

In this weather? Between 3.2-3.4, depending on how carefully I’ve been driving. Typically I set the ACC to 62 on motorways, climate control set to auto at 19°C, seat and steering wheel heating to add comfort if necessary. I think pre-heating the cabin whilst connected to mains is helping take the edge off the cold start. Obviously I’m paying for that but it seems to maximise the range.

Did a 12 mile run to a nearby town for xmas shopping yesterday and got 2.9 on the way out - temperature about 0c. On the way back the temperature was nearer 5.5c and it rose to 3.2.

@comment23 - my experience of motorways is that if you set 62mph, so a 'real' 60mph and just tuck in behind lorries (I'm not advocating tailgating) then you can do quite well. The slipstream really helps and I'd expect between 3.5 and 4 on a good run. I'd also go keep the tyre pressures about 2lbs higher than specified at all times.

My third winter with this car, it's always depressing how much it drops. But even in the summer the 200+ miles I got at the very start were never achievable.

Mine is currently showing 2.2 since last charge... 22 miles covered - all short 2-4miles journeys and lots of pre-warming - in combination its a battery killer....

Measuring mine from the car its around 3.1mile /kWh- but using the input energy from the Zappi, its about 2.9kWh. Very mixed driving - did 500miles+ in the first three days last week, so a couple of 100% charges and nearly empty when I got home (One down to yellow tortoise, but no loss of power)

Im getting @3.0m/kwh. I got the long term up to 3.9kwh in the summer but a few weeks ago it started to drop rapidly. Long term ave now down to about 3.5.

Most of my journey is motorways and I've been struggling to hit 3.2KWh. This morning, milder than last week, I only got 2.8KWh

"about 3.0" is typical for me... 2.8-2.9 if the weather is really bad.

I like a warm cabin, drive at the speed limit, and use all of the power quite regularly.

Driving style and the route/roads you drive make a big impact.

I notice that with temp close to 0, the allowable charge rate bar is significantly reduced. Even with battery at 20% the blue charge bar doesn’t extend all the way anymore. Usually you are get full charge rate at 90% but I think in conditions like the last week and half, the charge rate is 70% at 80% SoC. At least judging by my visual.

Not an issue for ac charging but obviously an issue for any kind of DC charging.
