After a couple of months of mostly around-town driving with some 100km/h stretches (averaging 13 kWh/100km) I did my first real motorway drive today with a 184 km round trip in my Excite 51 (SE SR).
I still got pretty pleasing efficiency in Eco mode with one-pedal and ACC, with aircon on about half the time each way.
Very interesting that the first leg was into a headwind of about 20 km/h and the return with that as tailwind. So wind direction (which was pretty much the only variable) can have quite an effect - 15.6 kWh/100km versus 14.2 (or 3.98 mi/kWh versus 4.38) - nearly 10% difference.
