Kona EV 300 Mile club

It's helpful to charge to 100% periodically to balance the cells.

 

2019 limited. Original battery. Verified needing replacement. Started at 80%. RT to stores on Cape Cod MA. Virtually flat and Light wind. 70-75 degrees F. Dry roads. About 80 miles on highway with speed limits from 40-50mph. The remainder in congested traffic

 

Waw! It's over any expectations.

 

As I posted in another thread, my move earlier this year to Hilo Hawaii has done amazing things to my range. Instead of the 285-290 I was averaging in San Francisco I'm now getting 320+ and recently got a reading of 332. I attribute it to a) lack of high speed highway driving -- just not many opportunities for that here -- and b) the car loves the 6.5 mike downhill drive from my house in the hills to places I go for shopping, errands, etc. Typical round-trip shows about 5.5mi/kwh or thereabouts.

 

These are all impressive and everything, but have you ever circumnavigated the entire planet 1.75 times in a single day??? It appears I had one hell of a commute on May 30. (Pretty efficient for the speed I must have been going though!)

 

And apparently going across a couple oceans barely impacted your efficiency. Impressive!

 

This is the highest distance I have seen and remembered to record. 361 potential miles at 100%. I don't necessarily agree with the recommendations but this was in the owner's manual:

I charged from 15% to 100% all in one session and this is the screenshot that I took at 100%:

 

I feel an unnecessarily strong urge to create a new thread for a 500km club.

 

I recently had occasion to charge my car to 100% for the first time in some months and set a new record: At full it showed 342 miles of range. I'm genuinely gobsmacked.
