    With all these high GOM numbers the time has arrived, who will be the first ?
    We will make the rules easy

    (1) mileage has to accumulated from the last charge (300 miles or 483 kms )
    (2) multiple trips are allowed (not all in one long drive)
    (3) must be member of this forum and drive a Kona EV

    We know this guy did it:
     
    mho, NSKonaEV, 1st-KonaEV-in-FL and 1 other person like this.

    Congratulations , excellent consumption numbers, great to see.
    Did you use ECCO mode and full regen for the whole trip(s)?

    Yes, Level 3 Regen and ECO mode for the entire charge. Minimized AC use.. I was lucky and we had some cloudy days where the temp was just below my threshold where I have to turn on the AC.

    I can tell I'm never going to participate in this contest. That 13% reading gives me the willie's! I never let my gas cars go below 1/4 tank and it seems I still carry the same habits with me. The lowest I ever got was 98km remaining and I was getting palpitations even then!

    I'm the opposite. I've run my F150 Crew Cab to 5 miles remaining range. 20180530_113932.jpg

    Actually he made 300 with 16% left and started at 93%. In the south western part of Ontario (being comparatively flat) one should make it and still have 23% left (around 15 kWh) after charging to full.
    It is possible on Van. Isle but on this rock it will be a challenge .

    I thought that I would get around 371 miles range due to my average consumption. 5.8 mi/kwh * 64 kwh = 371.2 miles range.
    I'm not expecting to maintain 5.8 mi/kwh. I just drove super economical to break 300 miles. Expect to get approx. 4.5 to 4.9 mi/kwh when driving less economical.

    Or road conditions are variable (hills, mountains, rain and headwind etc), 4.5 mi ( 7.25Km / kWh) is pretty close to what I'm getting here and that is in ECCO mode. 597 kms definitely out of reach for me. 483 km is possible at slower speed or hypermiling.

    The magic number where efficiency drops significantly is above 70 mph/110 kmh.. Just drove 50 miles to Orlando at 70 mph with AC on. Hit 4.2 mi/kwh until I hit bad traffic which increased it to 4.5 mi/kwh. 91 degree F/32 C.. Battery management did not kick in.

    No worries there, I find 95 - 100 km/h is fast enough for me. Even at that speed its pretty hard to avoid those troublesome deer.

    No deer here but we have gators and black bears crossing the road.. I've been to BC many times.. usually once per year we travel to BC or Alberta. Last October, we went to Jasper National Park, Banff National Park and Yoho National Park.. We usually also do Vancouver and Kelowna..

    I will make this happen soon, (waiting for new charge card). We will make it a "coast to coast" thing (no 38 degrees here though, and probably a few more inclines)

    Charged to 80% today giving 409 km range. That extrapolates to 511 kms or 316 miles at 100%. This old 2019 battery still doing OK...

    …but I've just got home :) Nice trip, but with energy consumption well above the daily norm (highway, 120kph). On the ordinary daily trips I can see about 10-12 kWh/100km.
