Just completed first set of long journeys - Yorkshire to Sussex and back through half term.
Way down, had cruise set at 65mph and got 4.3m/kWh. Charged once back to 80something%.
Way back, decided to see what happened with cruise at 70mph. But we were only getting 3.5m/kWh which meant my maths was all wrong and we crawled into Wetherby services with 3% battery needing a second top up to get home…
Is the difference between 65 and 70 really that significant?
It was slightly cooler as we drove back in the evening and the journey down was heavier traffic…perhaps it was just the accumulation of all the factors.
Any thoughts from more experienced long distance drivers?
