4.5 miles per KWh achieved tonight on a short trip

Really happy that a short drive in to and out of London can get good results in these temperatures

Warm weather is great. I got 2.5 today (I love sport mode)

At 26 and 13 mph, I'm not surprised.
You'd use even less and get there quicker on a bicycle.

I've got a 155 mile one way trip booked for Sunday......I'm going to try and do it in one hop......although there is a rapid charger 3/4 of the way there if I need it....

I only just managed a 120 mile round trip yesterday, outbound on the M25 averaging about 65mph and on the return similar speed. Does that seem to low to anyone ? I had topped up to 100% the night before and normal mode was showing more then the usual 163.

That does seem low to me, did you have your HVAC on and what did you achieve as per miles per KWh on the journey counter?

 

[Cirprocon]

I'm pretty sure the best was around 3.6KWh, HVAC would have been off at the start of the trip and on occasionally to demist on the way back. Over the last month or so I have been conducting long balances with the home charger to see what the pack voltage is and it has hovered between 440 volts and as high as 446 volts.

haha, your probably right.
It was a short trip to town then pootling around the various retail parks etc,
so it was all slow moving stuff.
still amazed me though how well it did

I have found that motorway travel is not too economical for the ZS. Last week my trip to Surrey and back, some 200 miles each way, the range is about 120 miles.

Yesterday, I did a 60 mile each trip, about half on dual carriageway, and I managed about 140 miles. The non dual carriageway part of the trip was far more economical
