Cold weather motorway mi/kWh?

[Sparky Matt]

Having had my MG4 Trophy for around 3 months now, i have been getting an average of 3.6 mi/kWh from my 50 mile round commute, of mostly A/B road driving.

I am planning on using it for a snowboard trip to Austria (St. Anton) in February.

What sort of mi/kWh should i expect at 70mph at say 0 Degrees with heating on?

I've been doing some research and seems there are plenty of chargers on route, at 1/3 of the price of UK rapid chargers!


Also, has anyone had any experience with your MG4 on snow? what does it drive like? I have a set of Michelin Cross Climate 4's ready to go on.

Cheers,
Matt

Go for a worst case scenario at 1.5-2.0miles / kWh (i.e. your battery percentage left in miles) - the worst run I've ever had was ~ 150 miles on a full charge (standard SE) - at 70mph on a cold day. Best was ~ 220 miles in summer at 60mph hypermiling behind a lorry on the closest cruise control.

180-195 miles is normal winter range for the trophy and ev database reckons 160 miles with mostly motorway miles.

I'm positive you need winter tyres on your car in Austria between November and April, all seasons will get you a fine if stopped.

Winter tyres: Are mandatory for all UK vehicles driving in Austria between November 1st and April 15th.

Thanks, as far as i am aware all season's with M&S and snow symbol are legal, and google supports this?

I assume you have a Trophy LR and not an ER?
With my LR I get around 180-190 miles charging to 80% during winter, and around 230 -240 miles during summer.
My mls/kWh are higher than your averages, at around 3.4 to 3.6 (except for exceptionally cold weather when I've seen it drop as low as 2.7) during winter and 4.2 to 4.5 during summer. I tend to drive around 60MPH on motorways, It does make a difference to the energy consumed as mathematically energy consumed is a square of the speed.
My tips for better energy performance would be to use the heated seats and steering wheel, and keep the heater at a lower temperature. Mrs EvTek also opts for a wooley hat and a knee blanket....bless her in keeping my energy figures up! Each to their own to improve winter energy performance.

I can't remember ever getting below 3.1 travelling at 70mph on the A1 from around Cambridge up to Scotland in winter with heating and AC on. (Trophy LR)

You will also notice a difference just by dropping from 70mph down to 60mph and have to balance the efficiency benefit from this against the addition to the journey time.
