March looking good so far! 3 days, 3 return trips, total 88 miles, average speed 25mph, average temp 10C, averaged 4.7 miles/ kWh. Only managed 3.6 in December (my first month with the car). No data for Jan and Feb as I wasn't able to drive (hip op).

Mine was 4.6 for the beginning of March until Winter returned yesterday and down to 3.8 . Picked up today though . Don't count your electrons until the month is over ;)
 
Very weird month this one . Car was serviced on the 3rd March and, on the 18 mile drive home . I had some very odd readings . After about 4 miles my efficiency was showing as 1 M/Kw and average speed as 3 mph . Anyway by the time I got home it was showing 3.2M/Kw and average speed 9 mph . Seeing as I'd covered the 18 miles in less than 30 minutes that was obviously wrong . I was thinking of getting out the trusty 10mm but decided to give it one more chance . Next day it was normal .
On the 27th I was getting 4.6 M/kW after about 800 miles but then the next bump in the road came . I got the HV Battery shutdown after a bad charge attempt . This time the 10 mm came out and order restored .
So , basically , the figures shown represent the last 4 days .
All in all not bad

Warm March weather has been a bit of a bonus for me:

I made an adjustment to the graph because I had a mileage reset half way through the month.
It was 4.3 for the first half and 4.5 as shown above for the second so I recorded it as 4.4 miles/kWh for the whole month. That's the best March figure I've had since I started taking records.

Wow that is bad consumption 4.6kW/M a range from the usable battery of just 13 miles. ;)
Apologies for the flippancy I'm sure you meant to put 4.6m/kWh. :)
 
Many of these screenshots show an analogue display of the speed etc. I just have weird graphic circles and a digital number. How do I switch to an analogue speed?
