Miles/kWh

[Jamesrr]

I get 500+ km around town easily, Normal mode, regen 3 and A/C on always. Average around 15kWh per 100 km.

Highway figures much more dependent on road conditions, speed etc.

High quality roads with plenty of traffic going in the same direction at 110kph, around 17-18kWh per 100 km.

Average road with no other traffic at 110 can easily hit 21-22kWh per 100.

You get used to "knowing" what sort of energy consumption you're going to get.

I blame all the Christmas Puddings and Cakes. They use all the Currants and Electric Currents.

Charged to 100% yesterday and the GOM says 376km.
Lowest I've seen it on a full charge.
Think it's due for a calibration charge, haven't done that for at least 6 months.

 

[Cabansail]

I have a couple of 400km+ trips coming up. Will see what sort of economy can be achieved.

Hope to get it close to or under 11kWh/100km (5.6 mi/kWh).

That's an ambitious target, I think you'll have to drive well under the speed limit, unless going downhill with a tail wind.

 

[Cabansail]

Unless I am in a hurry on a trip I normally drive under the limit. The drag has an inverse square relationship so dropping the speed just a bit lowers energy consumption by a lot.

In my old car I could get 3.8l/100km from a Mazda 3, way under the published figure.

 

[decrep]

Wow, you are good! I could get 4 in our Mazda2

Be interesting if you can shed some light on effects of regen level, driving modes and cruise control.
I have a feeling you are correct and speed is the major factor.

You'd be doing well to achieve that in the city. No chance on free/highways unless, as Decrep says, you're going downhill.

Last time I made this trip it was about 11ish. That was in Eco Mode and keeping it at about 85kph, not using the brake by anticipating when slowing was required.

More in tune with the car now, but the A/C will be used more in this heat. There is a free charger at a local eatery, so will use that to top up.

 

[decrep]

good luck with that then, let us know how you go.
I don't think there's many of us here that can stick to 85 on a 400km journey.
I think I'm doing well if I can keep it under 110

 

[Cabansail]

It is what the ACC is for. On that trip it takes about 15 min longer each way but uses way less fuel energy. A lot if the trip is along 2/3 lane roads. I do keep the same speed during the winding roads closer to home too. The 40kph advisory corner speed is just that, advisory. That is the fun bit. speed in a straight line is a bit boring.

My best last summer

 

[decrep]

Just had a 10km drive at a constant 70km/hr, ended up at 11.7kW/100km. temp was 21C road was dead flat with 10kt head wind. Normal mode, level 3 regen.

That's very good (5.3 miles/kWh to us in the UK).
