MK2 (Facelift) ZS Minimum m/kwh

[Mcgrst]

Any one get lower than 2.1 miles/kwh?

It was about 0c last night so had the heating, heated seats, rear demister on and its not been driven for a couple of days so battery would be stone cold. Near worst case conditions.
Used 5% which is about 2.3kwh according to previous calculations
covered 3.8 miles
giving a calculated efficiency of 1.6kwh/mile car still reckoned on 2.1 so I conclude that it does lie to me on short journeys.

I've never seen it go lower than 2.1, I think the software says that's the min whatever it may be. During the winter I never bother with the economy I just charge to 80% when needed as I'm not going to be doing long runs. Most we ever do during winter is 100 miles round trip to see friends and relatives and then it gets up to 3 to 3.3 m/kWh.

Yeah its not too bad on a run and even on short trips It doesn't really bother me, just not sure why they don't display the actual.

from memory, not paid much attention, on a recent very cold night for a short journey with heating on, it gave me an estimate of lower than 2 but it really depends on how much energy it uses for heating etc.. if you drive in ECO, gets much better (but colder as well...).
