More for info than anything.
I drove most of the M5 and M6 this week back and forth between Devon and Yorkshire.
On the way there, I rarely went above 60 mph. Consumption rate was 4.2 m/kWh.
On the return, I set the car to 70 mph and the consumption dropped to 3.1 m/kWh.
Range was severely impacted.
I used to have a diesel Land Rover and it acted similarly with consumption spiking when traveling above 65 mph.
It seems power consumption is not linear - there is some sort of exponential curve at speeds above 65 mph.
Used tja most of the way and it works really well. Effortless driving.
