5.9 Miles/kWh - anyone got past six?!

[FunkyWorm]

With the warm weather I’m regularly getting past five miles/kWh, but on the North Circular this morning I had twenty minutes at 5.9miles/kWh.

Wind behind you, downhill or going slow?

 

[FunkyWorm]

No wind, on the flat. Averaging 40 MPH.

I got up to 8+ once but only for less than a minute before it settled to 7+ for about 5 minutes and then down to 6 for 10 mins and remained at 5.8 until I got home.

My former ZS got up to 14 once until I realised that I was looking at the miles covered

I had this a couple of weeks ago .. but it was driving in SW London in those pesky 20mph zones

 

[dsimpkins]

I've had 20 on several occasions, but that's on a long downhill with the wind behind me. Only slightly cheating

No wind, on the flat. Averaging 40 MPH.

so that's about 65km/hr I get 5.3 @ 70. I'll have to try slowing down and see what happens

I've seen over 7 after about 10 miles but it was some down hill and stuck behind slow traffic. My Trophy did show 302 miles of range when I charged to full the other day though.

I was surprised to find an 11 mile round trip this morning got 4.8 miles/kWh. Given there was a 200m climb on the way out I was expecting much lower overall.

Mitigating factors were average speed of 14 mph (maybe 25 moving average) on B roads and small lanes, also the downhill part was shallow enough to need only minor regen.

Weirdly the return journey consumption wouldn't go above 20 from about half way down the hill and didn't drop below 20 until about 2 miles on the flat. I can't think of the reasoning for limiting the display to 20 ?.

To be fair I had Miss Daisy in the back !!?

All great fun but short distances don't prove a lot.... who can win at the best efficiency OVER 100+ MILES?

On a round trip.

Over how many miles?

 

[EvTek23]

I agree with tsedge. To be meaningful the figure needs to be the average over different driving conditions over about 100 miles.
Here are mine for May. (Urban and motorway trips)
87.5 miles, 4.5 mls/kWh
136 miles, 4.3 mls/kWh
108 miles, 4.8 mls/kWh
144 miles, 5.0 mls/kWh
Overall average,
476.5 miles, 4.65 mls/kWh.

Very good.

Xpower: 244 km, 69 km/h average, not eco-driving, doing some accelerations and so on, a good part of it was motorway. About 20 degrees C, so not really any heating or any AC on, just the fan. 16,1 kWh/100 km (equal to 3,9 mile per kWh). Giving a range of about 380 km (238 miles)

Xpower: 35 km, 51 km/h average, eco-driving, slightly uphill, mostly flat, norwegian country roads. About 25 degrees C, but no heating or AC use, just fan. 13,8 kWh/100 km (equal to 4,5 mile per kWh). Giving a range of about 440 km (275 miles)

Xpower in winter is another story. When -20 degrees C or colder it only had range of <200 km (125 miles). The heating used alot more of the energy than the driving. Driving in town in a average of 30 km/h gives over 500 km of range in summer. So the range varies from <200 km at country roads in worst of winter to >500 km in summer in town driving. WLTP figures not really useful...

 

[Rolfe]

The worst range I ever saw on the app at 100% charge all winter, in an SE SR, was 145 miles. And that was with constant heater use, frequent short journeys and lots of pre-heating.

Over how many miles?

Friend Barnet to Hanger Lane - maybe seven miles.
