Miles Per KW - Whats Best ? Who Hyper Miles ? Who Cares ?

[DSLiverpool]

Driving as I would a petrol car with heater and stuff on as normal I get 3.2 / 3.4 from the Zoe, my Mrs gets 3.6 but drives slower.

Do i3`s do better, Leafs? who is the king of KW/M

I average 18.7 Kwh/100km in an i3 whatever that means !

The US EPA do a decent job of measuring EV efficiency and at the moment the i3 is the most efficient EV. The league table is quite interesting, it really shows how inefficient the Tesla Model S is.

Personally I never bother hypermiling unless on a rare journey outside of the battery range. With recharging being so cheap I just don't see the point in trying to eek out a few more miles if not needed. The ECO-PRO button in my i3 is hardly ever used.

About 6 was my best in the i3 during the summer. But to be honest now I couldn't care less, as long as I get to my destination on a charge.

Miles? that's very impressive

After 5k miles the Leaf is on 4.0kw/mile

It means you havent been into settings and changed the units to British.
Myself and a few other owners are averaging 3.6miles/kWh in current weather. Or 0.28kWh/mile if you prefer.

We're getting 3.1 from our 2 month old Zoe, but that is driving like a 'normal' car with heater on, no Eco mode nonsense & liberal use of the torques!

Range has now risen considerably with the warmer weather, to around 65 miles of town usage with full heater, lights etc. Was barely hitting 50 miles a few weeks ago

11,614 battery only miles and mine is showing 3.6 miles / kWh.

Over 12,534 miles and nearly a year (in 3 days!) I've averaged 3.2 in my elec only i3.

But then I do nail it everywhere!

Can get mid 5s in the summer if I take it steady.
