Decreasing Range of MG4

Pot. Kettle. Black?

Our kettle is an Aldi special blue plastic cordless thing and our pots are all shiny, yet another strange thing .....

Some of those outliers are way out there. 570km on a full charge???? Downhill all the way with a tail wind for the whole distance????
How did you achieve that?

Even the run into Melbourne isn't 570kms, even though it's all down hill .... heading into a hole is generally like that .... maybe he was going round the outskirts, slowly working his way in, like one of those charity coin wishing wells .....

It's a normalised range estimate, not an actual achieved range. So if the driving at that time had very good economy then the normalised 100% SOC range would correspondingly go up.

If we have a period with nothing much other than slow driving on our local roads (with 40-80 km/h speed limits) we can see range go up quite a bit.

As you note there are some "outliers" - whereas the majority of samples occur within a fairly tight band of economy rates with some bias overlayed due to seasonal impacts and to some extent the type of driving.

You can see a cluster of dots about halfway along the chart with poor economy and low normalised range - that was when we moved home and I was doing a lot of towing.

And there are other small clumps of dots with a low normalised range estimate - these would correspond with longer highway trips away from home.
