kWh per mile

[Mark Holmes]

Used the car today and managed to achieve 4.1 kWh per mile which seems fairly good, what are you getting on average?.

 

[Dave]

At 4.1kWh / mile that gives you a range of about 12 miles.

Don't you mean 4.1 miles per kWh ?

 

[Mark Holmes]

Yes sorry, new to this EV world, is that good

 

[Dave]

It's not too shabby.

If you can average that from full charge to 20% SOC then you are doing great in the current mild winter temperatures we are having in the UK.

Short journeys, that should be easily achievable.

Longer trips, I would say anything above 3.8 miles/kWh in the current climate is excellent.

Welcome to the wonderful world of EV ownership.

Cheers and thank you for your reply, On another note I also found a Pod-Point charging unit at a travel lodge, which charged at 7 KWh, which was free and there were no parking charges. So topped up 18.2kwh for free, which I’m like very much please see the attached.

Hi Mark, I’ve been averaging 3.5 Kw/h although it has recently risen to 3.6.
I used my first public charger the other day but it was a standard three pin plug supply albeit with a type 2 socket. It was a bit of a waste of time as I gained 4 miles range, still it was free ?

 

[Mark Holmes]

Look at the Pod point locations and hotels as these seem to be the faster charge, not rapid, but free all the same.

Are you sure you wasn’t going downhill with a following wind?

Nope! I couldn't have got back home I have to say I am very surprised myself, but also really happy.
Been trying to save juice since I brought a Yamaha RD200 in 1978!
