I’m pretty my certain that PFL SR were also NMC chemistry?

Yep. Mine is.

Yep. Mine is.

I stand corrected!

Two months on the trot now with consumption being identical to last year. November has been a real mixture of mild and cold weather so figures will be affected by which days you actually travelled on.

 

[Jomarkh]

My November figure has dropped off due to the cold mornings

The last couple of weeks have made a dent in my November figures . Never mind , Spring's around the corner

Another ~1800miles at average 3.5. Was nearer 4 until the snow and -ve temperatures!

 

[Aberdeenshire]

Lots of short cold journeys this month. At least two commutes at -6degC or below.

My first month with the FL Trophy, and I was pretty happy with its range over a couple of fairly long trips where it did well in excess of what ABRP thought it could

You will come to learn that ABRP is rubbish at estimating range, i.e. it always way underestimates regardless of what info you provide it. You will also discover with time that you yourself are the best at knowing your car and it's range .

Here is my December 2024 figure.
Happy New Year everyone.

I must be doing something wrong.

Probably due to multiple short journeys where the heater is working hard to get the cabin up to temp.

How are members able to see the mls/kw on a graph over the past years?

Probably Excel

 

[Alb]

As above, the data points are recorded in Excel. Plotting the graph is fairly simple using the inbuilt tools.

 

[crispyjay]

Probably Excel

Or Google Sheets!
